Windshield Washer Jet Aiming.

Is there a pattern or system for aiming the washer jets on the 560SL? I remember reading it once but I can't recall where I read it. I would appreciate any help on this. Thank you

Hi,
The specs are listed in the Maintenance Manual(group 82). I don't have the specifics for the W107 but it should be about the same for all of the cars. Basic adjustment for twin dual nozzles(without getting a meter-stick and a marker)is that the inner jets shoot about 40 mm higher than the outers. And the inner streams cross. Other than that, I just use a pin vise with a piece of stiff wire in it to aim them.
Did that make any sense at all?
Regards,
Randy D.
