Replace windshield washer nozzles
I am looking for a source and a DIY instruction for replacing my clogged/misaligned windshield washers (2004 SL55 AMG). I have tried to use a needle to unclog and align BUT no luck.
Thanks,
Tom

Just sold my '11 Porsche TurboS cab for an '03 SL55!
You might try back flowing the disconnected nozzles with compressed air, after assuring there's no crud you can remove from the inlet ports. I don't thing I've ever had one that couldn't be cleared, but I have replaced them when my cleaning with tools has degraded the spray pattern.

I had a leaking line and had MB replace the hoses from the windshield to the reservoir. The nozzles worked fine otherwise, and I asked to have the old parts back so I could see for myself where the leak was occurring as they charged me a lot for replacing the hoses. You can have my old set of lines if that will help you,

I had a local trusted shop replace both washer nozzles a couple years ago. Part number on the receipt: 230 860 03 47. 2004 SL55 AMG.
On Sunday, the driver's side headlight washer shipped fluid on the floor. I'm guessing the nozzle assembly needs to be replaced. And so it goes.
