Headlight washers
I have had my S500 for a couple of years. Somehow when it was really cold here, the washers seems to have gotten stuck, partially sticking out.
Yesterday, I pressed the washer button and both washers popped out and would not retract.
Has anybody else has this problem? Any ideas?

I kinda had the same issue. Seems that the liquid freezes in the nozzle.
Once it warms up again, the retract and all is well.
I've had that issue once, but once they thawed, I used them a few times to make sure I got the good -20 degree washer fluid in there, and it hasn't been a problem since.

what's interesting is that I used mine last night to wash the salt off the headlamps and the whole nozle spray just popped out and I was leaking washer fluid all over the ground, I just popped it back in and was kinda afriad to try again......... maybe it was the cold weather.....
