How do I remove front bumper washer holders?

Post by skmattwell » Mon May 29, 2023 11:11 pm

Anyone removed the holders for the headlights washers? I have a bumper that need repairing but the rear is covered by the plastic covers that usually hold the washer mechanism. Can it be removed without breaking it off?

The washer unit just clips in with the two clips either side. You should be able to slide a couple of screwdrivers under the connections to release it.

Sorry probably wasn't very clear in my original post. Have removed the washers but I need to remove the entire bracket that holds the washers. It seems to be a separate piece of plastic from the bumper itself but its held in very well

No worries, but unfortunately I can't help you there. I've only ever taken the washer unit out of their clips whilst the bumper was still on, so I have no idea how those clips are attached to the actual bumper.

Are they glued on?
