Maybe a bit more to this bloody clip than initially thought, got this back from Renomotive- best bet would be trying to get someone to 3D print something as the clip is not designed to be pulled out from the face. Pretty much single use unfortunately. Without cutting up a bonnet to squeeze the...

Been there and done it with the Trophy, have spent so much on the wee bastard in the last 4 years I'd like to catch a small break on only 2-3ft of rubber tubing I need though!

Think the main issue here is the hose itself is just a bit too loose now on the washer nozzle nipple. Waiting on a response from a breaker for the retainer clip but can anyone recommend particular replacement hose? I've found this OEM stuff but £30 is taking the fuckin piss surely...

I’ll have a nosey although I see Renparts are no longer on the go.

Well silicone was a big fat waste of time. Have you had any joy yourself yet?

I’m tempted to use a small blob of silicone.

Any idea where to get replacement clips for this? Recently had the washer nozzles replaced and this one keeps popping out, it’s infuriating.

I'll give the bodyshop a shout to see exactly what they recommend as they've held absolutely no issue until now and that's with them coming off last year for a load of welding.

Ahhh now seeing all this I’ve worked it out. My rear arches were replaced 3 years ago and they don’t appear to come with the holes for these. I wonder if they’re still on the area towards the front ahead of where the new quarter panel finished.

I'm not certain how these were attached from new but it looks like the adhesive strip is weakening on my passenger side. It seems to sag in sunlight and then rise up again. Is there a recommended way for these to attach? (other than the screws along the bottom obviously...)

Finally in the garage and it turns out it was the front right ABS ring being split in two!

Jesus Christ that's an absolute howler of a decision.

Yes I've used them twice, most recently late 2023 and their communication was crap, to the point I'd seriously consider elsewhere next time. I told Simon as much and he held his hands up but this is disappointing to hear.

Both edges of this stick up ever since it needed a wiper arm repair last year and it's been getting on my tits ever since. What would be the best way of getting this to stick back down without being too rough? Or do I just discreetly silicone it and ignore?

Really?? How so?
