Yes it is missing and yes they do just clip on loosely, it is just through time they stiffen up. I hate the damn things and have disconnect the wire going to the pump on mine, pathetic idea.

 

Well when I took them off for the first time they were a bit hard to pull off, now they just about just dangle on. I will have to figure a way to make them stay securely.

I would try Gus's suggestion of the ziplock and see if that works. or heat the tabs and try to get them tighter. I agree with XK Racer, I disconnected mine also, just more junk to go wrong. My car is never dirty enough to warrant them.

The plastic works great as i did the left side but does anyone have any ideas on where to buy one for the right side?

 

Do you need to buy a cover? Look on E-bay I've seen them for sale individually.

how did this work out for you ? I had the same thing happen with my 2003 xk8 driver's headlight washer; just like you show in your pics. I bought both the plastic piece with the nozzles and the mirrored cover but have not yet installed it.

By the way, both pieces are available from Nalley Jag for about $100 total.
