Yeah pretty stupid i know but i was rushing and using one of those foaming brushes when i hit the front windscreen washer nozzle thing on the pasanger side and snapped it right off. Any ideas on how to get to it without pulling out the whole dash? as i've just put it back in after head unit change. I've just been pretending it didn't happen coz i'm angry at myself. The drivers side stopped working also so i cant ignore it anymore. Yes i know i shoud be washing her at home lovingly with autoglym not at some car wash with a rough brush.... Any help would be great although im not sure anyone has been this stupid before.

You will need to remove the dash I think, but it may be possible if you just remove the glove box and have bendy arms?
The water will take the easy way out so it is likely to be raining behind your dash!

He he bendy arms.Clive you must know mr tickle if youve had someone work behind the dash.I think you should have added thin to the bendy.Could try an illegal immigrant,they work for nowt and can get anywhere.Only problem is you probably wouldnt get em out.

No way from the headlights, front panel welded to headlight socket/recess panel, and still a long way up from there.
