I've got 2 here you can have... They're a design flaw as I see it... Total shite... fill them beyond half full and drive the car properly and the contents slop out... 25 years of this and the boot floor rusts through. Poxy things are pretty much the first thing I threw away.

Oh, and, they break one of the locating studs, that helps the 'flappy - sloppy' events...

You like the 'Total Shite' bit, don't you...?

Hmmm, with Mr Simmo's inputs, I'm now undecided. The reason I was going to get a replacement was because both tabs on the original one are broken, and once i got my head round how to open the boot, I was greeted with the bottle just sat there and a load of polystyrene. You have me fearing for my boot floor now :-S.

I'll take you up on your offer Puglife, and then atleast I have one for getting my car as close to OE as possible, and I can always bypass/remove it should I decide otherwise.

The question I asked myself was....

How often did I need/use a rear screen wash...?

And the answer was... never...

Sorry Jay

This is true. Never used the one on my Polo, and with a 4.5L washer bottle, you think I'd be looking for excuses to use it
