S18 light sensor cap replacement

Recommended Posts

My S18's light sensor cap has rolled off for good.  I'm worried about water getting through the open hole over the circuitry. Any ideas on sourcing a replacement part in the US?

Sure it rolled out? I am pretty sure, there is a notch/collar which prevents the cap from falling out. I guess it was pressed in. Maybe you can find it inbetween the motherboard and top cover. I think the cap is not sold seperatly...if you don´t want to change the whole top cover, I would glue a piece of acrylic glass inside the top cover...

@Fahrtwind- yeah, the cap has popped out from the top before.  I'm going to raid my kids' Lego collection first before cutting my own acrylic - there must be something that fits.  On a related note, if I completely cover the light sensor with my hand, the headlamp does not turn on, yet it does turn on when riding into a dark place...  is there a second light sensor somewhere?
