Steps
Remove upper clips and trim
Park safely and protect the bumper edges. Remove the upper push clips and release the exterior trim pieces with a non-marring tool.
Free the headlamp wiper and cover
Remove the headlamp-wiper arm cap and fastener, then release the arm from its spindle. Remove the wheel-well and bumper mounting fasteners, supporting the cover as it loosens.
Disconnect wiring and washer hose
Pull the cover forward only far enough to reach the connectors. Unplug the sensor harnesses and disconnect the headlamp-washer hose without stretching or kinking it.
Refit the cover and connections
Reconnect the washer hose and sensor plugs, then align the cover with its guides. Reinstall mounting fasteners, clips, trim, and the headlamp-wiper arm in its original position.
Check fit and wiper operation
Verify the cover is secure and panel gaps are even. Test the headlamp washer and wiper function, and confirm no harness or hose is pinched.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
