Default Windshield washer tank fill inlet broken...

I haven't the foggiest idea what the part is called/numbered. It is the black pipe to which the blue washer fluid cap is attached. It's mounting bracket is broken free from where it mounts to the engine bay. Looking at replacement reservoirs on fleabay shows they do not come with this part.

In addition to the broken bracket, the blue washer cap attachment is broken as well. Thus both eyed to be replaced. Any ideas?

Thanks for the idea to search again... My search terms were to narrow. Searching for "350z windshield" and wading through the crud brought me to the exact listing.

For reference, the par is the windshield washer fluid reservoir filler neck. It won't come with a cap, but for 10 dollars shipped I could hardly complain. I'll simply shave down the cap where the attachment was.

Happy to help.

My question to car designers is:


WHY CAN'T YOU MAKE THE WASHER FLUID CAP LIKE ANY OTHER FLUID COVER??????

I have never had a car with that dangling design that lasted more than 5 years.
