windsheild wiper fluid?

[DandZ]

i've read a few posts of people looking for where to put in the fluid for the front and several have mentioned a post with pictures of the procedure. i can't for the life of me find it on the site forum. if someone knows where this post is can you put up a link to it? thank you! *dalyn

Real easy, it's at the bottom of the foot well on the passenger side. Just slide it towards the back ( it's on a clip ). There's not much hose there so be carefull filling it up. Just so you know the rear wiper fluid is located driver side on the rear gate. Open the gate and you'll see a filler cap. Have fun.

Right on the side of the van, it blends in well. Open the door and right on the bottom, left hand side. You'll see it.

awesome! thank you so much. nearly died today driving out to white rock and back with no fluid and bright sun on a wet road. had to pull into several gas stations to clean the windshield!

That's funny - Just today I was poking around the UK club forum and found a nice picture post about filling the front wiper fluid - posted by none other than our friend Mystery Machine Bruce. Up 'til now I've been using a long bendy funnel to fill mine

Pictures for all to see

the front one does have a screw at the bottom that needs to be removed before it will come out though (before you start using a crowbar on it :))

That's what I was told too, but found the screw on mine was pretty much frozen, so I gave up and resorted to the funnel. When I found Bruce's post on the UK forum today I noticed there was no mention of any screw so I went out to the bus and whatdaya know, the thing just slid out like Bruce described!? Easy-peasy

Sorry, no screw holds the bottle on my van, if you look at the first picture you can see where a screw goes but that holds the pump motor. It's held in pretty tightly on the clip. Where I bought the van, the owner went over damn near everything, this was one of them.

I stand corrected, my is a hard pull to get off anyways so taking out the screw just make me think it should slide after that :). I think I will put a little lube on it next time so it's a tad easier to get back out.

The first time I tried removing the bottle I took out 2 little screws and, that I didn't know at the time, but that removed the pump and all the fluid came out. Had a little flood in the garage - good thing for dog towels!
