Default Deleting headlight washers
Front bumper is off and ready to get painted (2013 CS) am thinking about removing the headlight washers and have the holes filled in. Wondering what your thoughts were? please share.

Seems like a big move to me. I'm assuming you would have the sprayers removed and cap the lines? I'm in the process of painting mine.

I just bought black covers to paint body color on my car. Big holes to patch and if super critical the patch will shrink over time and show for some people.

Steven, where did you get covers? I know what you mean about " shrinking " on large holes. I'll also re-confirm with the body shop.

Can't stand the nipples. Completely unnecessary and an eye sore. Thinking of doing the same thing.

I was very happy to see that the headlamp washer nozzles were deleted from the 2019 Carrera T's. Perhaps this is the case with all 2019 Carreras?

Funny, I was always a little irritated that my base '14 had no washers even though the window sticker claimed otherwise.

Get of the them, no matter how time it takes or how much money it takes!

And yes, my 2019 Targa GTS does NOT have them.

Watch it. They're not a simple push a button to spray system. They're computer controlled to operate automatically every so many windshield wiper cycles. You cannot just pull out the warts and plug a hose.

I don't think they are tied into the windshield switch like you think.

Mine don't work unless you hit the little button on the stalk.
