Greetings,

It appears the headlamp washers are off set on my 2003 S Class (W220)

Is there any way of getting them to stay out long enough to adjust them ?

I have also got a wobbly passenger side door mirror, not thr glass the whole unit...

Any suggestions would be helpful....

regarding the headlamp washers use a small flat bladed screwdiver & open the flap in the bumper. whilst holding it open with one hand use your other hand & pull the headlamp washer nozzle out - it's sprung loaded & the water pressure makes it extend. Once held out realign the jets & then let go. Retest & if not to your satisfaction repeat process.
Regarding the loose mirror you'll probably find the mechanism is worn & the only option is to replace it. You may find by pressing the button a second time & holding it until its fully extended & then releasing your finger will rectify the problem. The only problem is you'll have to do this each time you fold out the mirrors.

Thankyou for the response you have been really helpful. There is a little part of the light washer that has popped out at some time, its like a nozzle head type thing, looks like it will need the whole unit, I may pick one up depending on price. Thanks again
