Trev-the-Rev Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I noticed when I got to work this morning my headlight washers were stuck out. I'm guessing that it's due to them being frozen and the pipe being too stiff (oh Mrs) to return properly. Any thoughts?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Prob frozen Trev like you said, a bit of warm water perhaps or park it in the sun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev-the-Rev Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 Yeah I'll try some warm water on them when I get home this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 If that doesnt work, try leaving the engine on for a bit. The frozen water in the pipe work might be stopping them from retracting rather than the washers themselves. Nice warm engine should thaw them out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice warm engine should thaw them out I did 210 miles with my washers froze yesterday, inc getting stuck in traffic on the m5 and they didnt defrost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev-the-Rev Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 I went out to the car about 15 minutes ago and they've gone back in now Probably too cold for them to stay out long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smartmove Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 My left hand washer is also in the stuck out position, the right hand one appears to be stuck in. I guess we wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Mine did the same. They went back in on theyre own after a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Just had this happen to me, got to work and one was stuck out. I wished this could have been avoided by making it linked to the outside temp sensor and disable the washer once it reached 0 degrees.
