Headlight washer blew off

crunchingnumbers · 01-22-2012, 11:32 AM

Looked at my 2012 x6 this morning and noticed a hole in the front bumper assy where the headlight washer receptacle used to be on the pax side.

I haven't hit anything so can only think that last night as I returned home to NC from GA yesterday through that weather front with heavy rain I did reach speeds which maybe blew it off as it activated.

Do X6's start coming apart at warp speed

. My 5.0 has the aero kit - maybe something wasn't fitted correctly but I'm going to test my warrantee.

Anyone seen anything similar ??

Never heard of this happening before. Would think it should be no problem under warrantee. Good luck.

Stolen - lol

Actually the dealer said it happens at higher speeds and mine was not the first. Parts are in and now being painted. Should be ship shape next week.

Good to hear. Still never heard of them just flying off like that though...

I know mine does not sit flush (strangely enough on the passenger side).
