Default Any new solutions to the loose old headlamp washer problem?

When returning from lunch, I was lucky to notice my right headlamp washer cap was just a hair from falling off. Is a cable tie still be best fix?

Yep. Had mine on for 18 months now without an incident.

Default I bet you could usa dabba caulk

and it's a good habit to always check those two bad boys out when approaching the car from the front.

Since I wash my own cars, I always know when they're getting loose. And here's a tip from an Audi tech- a pair of 90-degree needlenose pliers is a great way to reach in and pull out the jet assembly so you can reattach the cover.
