I'm not sure what happened with these things. When I first bought my Quattro, the rear washer bottle was the original one. Following the 1999 accident, the bodyshop had started liberating parts, and 'lost' the original bottle. The replacement was attached by only the two screw tags on the side, whereas the original had a bonded on attachment that hooked into a slot in the car metal work near the spout.
I got seriously fed up with the increasingly inept approach to fixing the problem, and eventually screwed a self tapper with a small grommet into the top of the bottle. It's been fine for the last 15 years (despite the efforts of the tit from Cardiff.)
