If he wont update it, I will.

We got around to fixing his leaky windshield washer fluid reservoir. Had a total of two holes and two cracks. We attempted to patch it with epoxy the first time around without pulling it out. We just reached through via fenderwell but we ended up missing the other three spots. This time we pulled it out, epoxied, and all is well.

Slowly but surely. :nod:
