headlight washer problem
 
one of my headlight washers is leaking,
took it to the dealer twice they said they can't fix it.
what should i do; contact BMW.

it usually happens days after i wash the SAV.
also am i supposed to have condensation in my head light b/c of pressure?????
front drivers has condensation after high pressure wwas take 3 days to evaporate.

I think you would be better off trying another dealer, rather than trying to get BMWNA to solve it.

You are not supposed to have condensation in the headlight, but you are also not supposed to aim a high pressure washer at the vent.

Many owners have had headlights replaced for condensation when they don't dry out by themselves, but before going to the dealer check and see whether you are contributing to it during the wash.

Also, are you sure the headlight washers are leaking and that it isn't residual water from the wash?

yes i'm sure its a steady stream from the base of the washer. I took delivery when one of the headlights had condensation, it happens when i normaly wash my car. I wash it the same way i wash my 3.0i; it never happens on the 3.0i.
I'm probably going to take it to the dealer.

Mine leaks too. I took it twice and they couldn't find the problem. I noticed that it happens when I go up on my curve to the drive way and fluid leaks out. Although I don't even use the washer fluid.

I also have a problem with my alarm going off when I press the unlock button. But they can't duplicate that either.

Anyone find an answer to this? I've just recently noticed that my driver's side headlight washer has a small amount of washer fluid around the nozzle where the fluid usually shoots out of; however, I hadn't used any part of the washer system, even the windshield. While parked, nothing comes out, but as soon as I drive a little then get out and look, there's a little green fluid around the nozzle of the outer most headlight washer on the driver's side, almost as if it's being activated, BUT nothing like the flood of fluid that shoots out when I press the Special wash button. It's just a very minor amount around the nozzle, and I know it's washer fluid because mine is green, and there will be a drop or two on the bumper, but it's not running. Any thoughts? Where should I look? Could I have overfilled the washer fluid reservoir and it's coming out there? I have'nt a clue, so I'm counting on you guys.
