Headlight nozzle dropped...what's up?

He guys.

I just noticed that one of my headlight nozzles has dropped down into the bumper. It didn't look damaged.

I was able to get a tool and carefully pull it back up into position, but it still seems loose and seems like it will eventually drop down again after I hit a few bumps.

Anyone know if there is a known issue with the nozzles and/or what I can do to fix the issue?

Thanks!

Don't think this is a common issue. The nozzles are held in place by plastic clips in the bumper cover. To fix you need to pull the front bumper cover....may just snap back in, or may have snapped off the clip.

Good luck.

Someone may have intentionally pushed it down. Seems like an easy fix. While you have the bumper off, take the opportunity to clean out the sides where all the leaves and debris get stuck.

Here are a couple shots for you from the inside of the bumper cover, so you will lknow how it works.
