I do not know about the rest of y'all....however, both of my 123 MB diesel vehicles only have 3 nozzles. 2 on the driver side and 1 on the passanger side. My 126 has 2 on each side...
Best wishes always,

Ah, that's more like it. Thanks, Ray. Those of you who aren't anal enough to care, just leave us alone.

I adjusted those for you already. If they came out of adjustment by themselves you need new washer nozzles.
The inner 2 jets (left on the right side, right on the left side) should cross slightly, should hit on opposite sides of the windshield. The outer ones stay on the same sides. I aim a little higher so they will be more effective at higher speeds.

That may be. However I got the brush out to clean some of the blue stuff on the nozzles. Of course I rubbed too hard and they are spraying over the car, beside the car below the level of the wiper. I adjusted them to where I THINK (danger mode) you had them but no way to be sure.

I just had one of those bright flashes late one night to clean the nozzles of the blue stuff around it. See where it led me?

You're not the only one... The only reason I know how to reaim them is that I messed them up trying to clean them out too when I first got my car. For a while one was aimed sideways by accident... I think I could have used it to squirt into people's open windows as I passed them!
