To get your front headlight wipers to work, push in the washer fluid (turn signal/wiper) stalk. You said you have a rear wiper?

usually when one side is looks you can try and push the outer edge in to help realign it on the small track and then push inwards. alot of times though you have to take the whole bumper off and put it on again. hopefully the tabs aren't broken but if they are i think you can find replacements. hope that helps

You get the headlamp washer/wiper to work the same way you do the windshield washers BUT you have to have the headlamps ON.

Sometimes the large nut on the shaft of the mirror is loose but 99 out of 100, you need a new rear view mirror.
