Header Custom View: unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value

I'm getting an error when I run my code. The error is all in the line below within the viewForHeaderInSection function.

let header:friendsListSectionHeader = self.friendsTableView.dequeueReusableHeaderFooterViewWithIdentifier("friendsSection") as! friendsListSectionHeader

and I reference it like this in the viewDidLoad.

let nib2 = UINib(nibName: "friendsListSectionHeader", bundle: nil)
        friendsTableView.registerNib(nib2, forCellReuseIdentifier: "friendsSection")

I do have a custom view for a cell above this if that does anything. Everything builds, but I get an error that I'm unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Option value.

My .xib and UITableViewHeaderFooterView class are all referenced correctly.

Any thoughts?

You're just using the wrong registration method, you're registering a cell where you should be using registerNib:forHeaderFooterViewReuseIdentifier:
