As I began work on my new-to-me 2005 Limited Coupe in preparation for a Safety Certification required in Ontario, I thought I would start with the easy things. And what could be easier than topping-up the windshield washer fluid? Lots, it turned out.

As I poured what turned out to be 4 litres of -40 fluid I noticed the cautionary note near the filler neck that warns against overfilling or spillage might occur. Curious, thought I. Surely they aren't cautioning me to pay attention to the level in the inlet tube... Duh, who doesn't know that?! Me, it turns out. Or at least it seemed so. I kept pouring and pouring and didn't stop until my foot felt wet. Yep. It was leaking alright but not because of the friction fit of the filler neck pieces. It was leaking because of a hacksaw customization of the reservoir.

My car has Lambo doors. Pretty cool, huh? Well, not if you want to keep using your OEM fluid reservoir it turns out. You see, in order to get the new hinges to work something had to give and that turns out to be said reservoir. Here's what I found and, thanks to having a small but reliable Porsche 924 container I added the attachment wing from the original reservoir and with help from a bicycle inner-tube and some J & B plastic bonder I jury-rigged a replacement until I decide what's more important: looking Lambo or OEM. Thoughts???
