Problem with headlight washer balls

[Col 172]

I am supposed to be taking my car to have the washer ball replaced very shortly but i am concerned that the garage has said the front bumper needs to be removed in order to do this. It is being done under the warranty (car 5 months old) and the garage are reluctant to just pop a new washer ball into the holder. Has anyone had to have the bumper removed to get this done and if so did it go back on correctly without any damage to either the car or the bumper. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

its a very easy job to remove the bumper and it shouldnt get damaged or marked at all mate, u dont get the washer ball seperate they come as a unit which is better to fit then just the ball, u dont actually need to remove the whole bumper just the corner its dead easy job, besides u will get a new full jet unit under warrenty most times so it wont cost u!

Trust me. Had one done under warrenty 2 weeks ago. They just pop a new ball in. Cheaper that way.

My other one fell out last week, so back to get that one done.

I managed to get my hands on a ball it just pushed straight in

it depends tbh the ones ive had to fit so far , everytime ive stuck the ball in they have popped out again not to long after! besides its a 15min job to fit a new unit if the tech knows wat hes doing!

Best way just pop the balls in with a bit of super glue around the edges did mine about 5 months ago no problems since.
