The correct procedure to replace the bulb is on page 121 in my W210 owners manual - once you know the "trick" its pretty easy.

You are correct. Generally things are easy to work on, once you know how the engineers decided things should be fixed. My manual makes no mention of the washer bottle which is clearly in the way.
So I decided to "study" the problem. DOH! The washer bottle is actually two washer bottles connected with a tongue and groove type arrangement. The skinny from reservoir for the reservoir (it is connected with a small hose, similar to the heated hoses found on my SL) simply slides up the groove and out of the way.
Plenty of room to work once that skinny reservoir is slid up and out if the way.
No tools needed.
So, why two reservoirs connected with a small hose??????
