ML55 Headlamp washer cover
It seems someone has borrowed my right side headlamp washer cover.
The dealer has one in stock at a reasonable cost but I will need to have painted Silver.
Is there a way to keep the washer sprayer in the up position to fit the new replacement?

I had the same issue a couple of weeks ago. $50 at dealer got me an unpainted replacement. Very easy installation. With your fingers, gently pull up the exposed sprayer top and hold it while you simply clip on the replacement. Remember, the sprayer comes up diagonally (at about a 45 degree angle) toward the middle of the grill. As you do it, the washer fluid will leak out of the nozzle. This is normal. Takes about 20 seconds for the install.

Thanks! I wasn't sure if I would damage the raising mechanism by pulling it up.
The dealer quoted me $37 for the unpainted cover. I figure it will be $200 after paint.
Hoping to find a used one the correct color.
