No, no. I really need you guys to let me know a little bit about your GL.

For the first five months I owned my GL the rear wash spray was a nice misting fan shape, like the three in the front. Now it has turned to a solid stream, like the "little boy" fountains at an Italian garden centre.

SA insists "that is the way MB designed it", and I don't blame him, all of the GL's on his lot are "little boy".

What is up with that? what does yours do?

Mine is a "Nice Misting Fan"

I'd make an appointment for your GL at the urologist to get that taken care of!

j/k!

Mine's a stream, but mine's younger and I expect it to spurt as it gets older and more suceptable to prostate issues.

BTW, what are we talking about again?

Stream from Day 1. A pretty recent build '09. My previous '06 R500's was also a stream. Now I am jealous of those who have the misting fan.
