Getting at the Wiper Fluid Reservoir?
 
How do I get at the wiper fluid reservoir? I know its in front of the front right wheel but getting to it seems like a pain in the ass. Are there any quick and easy ways of gaining access to it.

I have a crack in it and I'm only able to fill it a 1/4 of the way. Dont ask how the crack got there. I dont even know. I'm hoping I can find a way to patch it up without having to replace it. Any ideas on possible patches as well?

Thanks

To really get at it, you're going to have to remove the front bumper cover.

front bumper needs to be removed, as well as peeling back the passengerside fender liner-

it's relatively easy to remove, i think there is like 4 10mm bolts and the string of hose connections.

maybe ask your local hardware guy on glue to patch up the plastic-

if its a small crack, maybe try to remelt the plastic with a torch and seal it up again by putting in plastic from a melted BIC pen-

my friend did that once for ABS plastic- i dunno if that'll work for you-

Hey thanks for the link and advise on how to patch the hole up. With the spring coming near I'm looking forward to fixing this issue once and for all.

Remove the bumper is the easiest way. I had the same problem. Mine was cracked on the backside of the container and I finally got the dealership to replace it under warranty after 3 tries. I got two very different quotes for a new one, one was like $110 and the other was $200+ but like I said I finally got them to warranty it. Good luck.
