Toyota Corolla Window Washer Bottle

When the window washer pump went out on my 1995 Toyota Corolla I was able to find a new one as good as OEM at the local Advance Auto Parts store. Thinking almost for sure the pump would be a dealer item I was prepared to go to Toyota and get one until I found out that Advance had one, inexpensive too.

While taking the water reservoir out the mount toward the firewall cracked apart from plastic fatigue. I was trying to be as careful as I could so it wouldn't break but it did any way. First I tried epoxy to fix it but that didn't hold for long so I tried a strap to hold it into place. The water bottle really didn't need to be bolted down as much as it needed to be kept from swinging into the engine compartment. I f it swung out it would fall out of the other mount and into the engine compartment.


The water bottle wasn't leaking so I didn't see the need for spending money to replace it so I devised a strap out of wire and rubber tubing to support the bottle and hold it tight against the side of the engine compartment. You can see the tubing strap in the picture above. It goes from one of the bottle mounts to the other, no holes were drilled or hardware added.
