Since I have cruise control the relocation of my washer bottle has been problematic. I think I finally solved the problem and it did not require having to move any other components. It's a good solution, not a great solution but it tastes like chicken.

The bottle I got was this one. www.partsamerica.com/ProductDetail.aspx ... yCode=3052
Image

It comes with 3 little knobby things. Hacksaw off the one closest to the filler. Then gently drill a 3/4" hole in that spot. I used the wood blade shown. Slip your original grommet and pump assembly into the hole. I thought about sealing it with silicon but it doesn't leak so to heck with it.
Image

The assembly slides right in between the computer module and the canister hose. It comes with this cool multiuse bracket. I just shot a self tapping screw into the body to hold it all in place. Note the electrical connector for the pump needs to be extended. Just crimp in some extra wire.
Image

I didn't bother to add in the 'low fluid' sensor but there's plenty of room for it on the inside side of the reservoir.

It doesn't hold a lot of fluid but it'll do for me. Next I'm going to look for a spot to put an auxiliary bottle that will feed this one.

Same thing I did,even the same bottle! It works like a charm!Though I had to silicine the s*&t out of it around the washer pump(inside and out) to get it to not leak.

Yeah I was wondering what you did with the windsheild washer fluid when I saw you got the new bumper. I would get that coolant sticker off the bottle though. Some lube tech may try to fill her up with coolant.

Yeah I'd remove the sticker even though I do my own oil changes. Got tired of those morons trying to overfill everything.
