Washer fluid reservoir replacement

[classic_cack]

The washer fluid reservoir in my 2010 Genesis cracked during the cold winter conditions. I'm having trouble finding a replacement part online. Any ideas? Worried that going to the dealer is going to cost more than I care about having washer fluid!

Wow thats a $160 part.

I would contact a junkyard and pull one from a wrecked Genesis.
Could you plastic weld the crack instead of getting another one?

Strange that it would crack. Did you have plain water in it when it went below freezing?
Junkyard is the best place for something like that. They'll probably charge you $60-$70 because they can.

Thanks NSXNEXT. I may check out a junkyard. Not exactly sure why it cracked, but it isn't something that can be patched up. . My guess is I had put some special fluid meant to combat summertime insects which wasn't meant for freezing conditions.

There once was a reader classic_cack,
Who's washer fluid tank got a crack.
To the junkyard he was sent
by Nsxnext: "get thy replacement!"
and now his washer tank is right back!

The online price for the reservoir in the link above is $120 with $15 shipping. I would just order it from them and be done with it. The odds you will find one locally in a junk yard are slim, and I bet the price is well more than 50% of a new part. The difference in a junk part versus new is on the order of the cost of a single tank of gas. One tank of gas is not worth the hassle.

If you want a cheap fix, remove the reservoir and spray it with a rubberized paint after using epoxy on the crack.
