Headlamp washers not retracting?
I don't use them often, but twice (once each side) the sprayer has stayed extended beyond the bumper.
The lightest touch causes the washer to retract. Is there a part of the mechanism to clean or lubricate to allow the sprayer retract as designed? Gracias

I'm pretty sure they work simply by washer fluid pressure extending them - basically the same way a sprinkler head in your lawn works. Then a spring returns them. So there is probably just some dirt on the shaft. I'd spray some lube like TRiFlow you can get at a bike shop on the shaft.

My driver's side was hanging on the opening in the bumper. I trimmed the plastic slightly using a Dremel and fine grit sanding drum. No issue since.
