'81 300SD. One nozzle sprays too high. What is small enough but strong enough to stick in the nozzle to do the re-aim? I tried a very small allen wrench but it was still too big. I have the MB desired spray pattern for all four nozzles but just cannot figure out how to move the single errant nozzle.

That's the only thing wrong with my SD.

get a needle and put the sharp end into the nozle to adjust/aim the spray

Sewing needle, or an earring post works in a pinch. I've got a great wife. LOL

Ha that's a great document!

Leave it to Mercedes to document exactly how to position the washer nozzles,

Thanks guys; headed outside now in the rain.

PS - MB probably has a computer re-aim the nozzles these days.

Well, I am wet and have grease on my khakis but the nozzles are aimed correctly now. There is a reason that MB posted a spray pattern; if you aim them just a little off, they just spray against the housing and very little gets on the windshield.

Here is a picture of a nozzle adjuster that I made after reading the responses.
