Lads.
Make sure that these aren't being nicked when you're parking up.A mate of mine has had two sets nicked (albeit from an ST) and they cost a packet to replace and respray.
Hope this isn't the case and your cars look fantastic btw

Try this then ....
There are two main problems with the Headlight Washer covers .
1 . They may be loose against the surface of the bumper .
2 . They often fall off or come off in your hand when cleaning etc.
The following is a solution to both of these problems .
The first thing to do is to remove the covers , as we know this is not a problem , but simply take hold of the cover and pull the whole washer jet out and slightly upwards , the cover will either come off in your hand or if it doesn't you can just unclip it from the jet .
Next step is to remove the washer jet , you will need a piece of string and a small flat screwdriver . Loop the string round the washer jet and pull it out from the bumper , then lever the screwdriver under the ratchet tab as shown in pic 1 . the jet will come out of the main body of the washer , which will then retract .

Once you have both removed , clip the jets and the covers together as they should be , they are LEFT and RIGHT handed but don't worry , they have L and R marked on the jets . (Just be aware when it comes to reassembly)
Resized to 94% (was 1024 x 768) - Click image to enlarge
Next comes the mod , you'll need 4 , 4mm washers and a glue heat gun or some quick setting epoxy resin .
Place a 4mm washer over the washer cover locating peg and apply a blob of glue (glue gun in deffinately preferred) , the idea is to glue the 4mm washer to the black locating peg on the washer jet , the 4mm washer also stops you from glueing the washer jet cover to the washer jet itself .
Resized to 94% (was 1024 x 768) - Click image to enlarge
Repeat this with the other 3 locating pegs . once the glue has set Make sure the washer jet cover is NOT glued to the washer jet , there needs to be the slight up/down movement on the cover to allow it to 'seat' correctly against the bumper .
Almost ready to replace the washer jets but first it's a good idea to clean and polish the jet covers and the area around the holes in the bumper . Remember Left and Right , carefully put the jet through the hole in the bumper and into the washer body , it will self locate , as soon as it's located in the body it will start to 'click' on the ratchet mechanism , gently push it in until it is tight up against the bumper , about 8 or 9 clicks .

The jets push back in quite easily but won't pull back out because of the ratchet , you can't push them in too far but once they are pushed right in they shouldn't be loose against the bumper and they should NEVER fall off again .
Good Luck .
