Replacement washer bottle cap? Mike Self--any ingenuitive (

[Guest Anonymous]

The rubber breather cap on my VDO windshield washer bottle is brittle and falling apart. Anybody have any neat ideas for replacement?

TIA

When I bought my 2002, there was a spare cap in the glove box. If I can find it, it's yours for postage.

For what its worth, I used a Gatorade bottle top for a while, screwed on perfectly and didn't leak. Though I did this here in Australia which might have a different bottle to North America.

I picked up one new via Bavarian Autosport, although when I fit it to the bottle on my car the cap spun around as though the dimensions had been altered. You might be best served by locating a used cap that isn't terribly scratched. As time passes the plastic of both the cap and bottle darkens a bit - aestetically speaking it would look best to match a used reservior bottle to a used cap. Unless the '02 is concours, a new cap looks a bit strange on an old reservior - fits better too! Good luck.

take the empty bottle down to a pharmacy and see if you can find a non-child proof pill bottle cap that'll fit. Don't forget to poke a hole in the center to prevent a vacuum forming...Let us know if you find a match.

I went to her spice cabinet and took the tops off several of her store bought spice bottles until I found one from, of all things, sprinkles that you put on Xmas cookies. Bingo! Maybe tomorrow I will try the aspirin bottle.

Thanks for the ideas,

Chuck
