I think I'll go out to the garage and get busy. I bought a under hood mat and clips, a battery and ground cable, new sill plates, and a new washer reservoir. Pics to follow.
We know you have the right tools for the job. I did not have the deep socket you need to get the nut inside the reservoir for the pump, but I got it done. It's a great feeling to have a working windshield washer. And shiny sill plates are nice to see every time you get in the car.
Day off, it's low tide, headed to the beach for a little while, don't want sunburn. I actually had a small success this morning already with my futures trading gig. You need nerves of steel and a clear head to do it. Those are not my natural qualities haha.
