Headlight came loose when washing it last weekend. Didn't want to make matters worse, so I just took a peek to see what the problem was and it looks as if there's a plastic sleeve that may be stretched. It's staying in place, but I don't want to end up with my headlight as roadkill. Is this a dealer fix or can I take care of it? |

If this is a D2 or if the D1 is anything like the D2 you can just "pop" it back in place. There is a grommet that the lower portion of the headlight goes into. I once found that the light came off the grommet and just needed a slight push with the side of my fist and it's held since. |

I had a 97 DI that had the same problem after I struck a deer, thank God for the brush guard. Really like the previous entry said just pop it back in |

if the grommets are cracked or broken it will stay loose. just order a new one and it will take all of 5 min to replace. i always carry spares of them with me. at some point you bump something or something bumps you and you need one. or someone else will. |

Exactly what Garrett said Parts man at the dealer here actually gave me two of them. He pulled them off of an old headlight. Usually they are a few bucks each, two screws and about 3 minutes of your time.. Peace..R S |
