windows/roof open and you use the windshield wipers/spray
If you own the c-coupe with panorama roof, I have a question for you. What happens when you have all the windows down (including the panorama roof) and you start the windshield wipers and water spray? Does the water find its way around the windows or does it come in the door jars, like most cars. Just wondering.

Don't know about the coupe, but the washer jets on my C240 stay well within the area of the windshield. They don't spray over the car like some others I've seen (and which I hate to be behind 
). It would seem possible for some to wrap around to the side though, haven't checked.

I had a doctor once who said, "If it hurts when yo do that, then don't do that."
If you're traveling at any speed, I think it would be unreasonable to expect washer fluid to stay out of the sunroof/windows, if they are open. There's bound to be some spray coming inside, IMO, no matter how well defined the nozzles are aimed. So, I make sure my windows/sunroof are closed when giving my windshield a bath, at least for 30-seconds or so.

Has anyone successfully re-aimed thier nozzles? I tried doing it with a dental-type pick and the thing wouldn't budge. I didn't want to break it so, I asked my dealer to re-aim the driver's side one and I don't think they did it.

My girlfriends C230K had this problem where the rightmost nozzle was aimed VERY high and to the right (Beyond the range of the wipers).
He used a pick and pushed the nozzle into a different direction. It's perfect now.
