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 have the same problem on my passenger side.
Interested to know if/how you get it resolved...

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.
