Removing the Rear Bonnet Panel

Model: Mercedes Classe M W163 - Years 1997-2005
Part: Body

If no liquid comes out of the rear windscreen washer nozzle but you can hear the pump when pressing the lever, it is possible that the nozzle is blocked or that the pipe leading the liquid to the nozzle has broken; to inspect this, you need to remove the rear bonnet trim panel; start by removing the expansion-type push fittings by pressing the central pin inward; take off the lock cover and detach the frame around the internal latch; at this point, you can unclip the panel by prying along the edges.
