Default Washer Fluid Reservoir replacement

Mine got ripped out in a recent squabble with some ice, asphalt, and a muddle embankment. The embankment won with the help of the ice and a stuck throttle. As a result, I have at least a missing reservoir. The top cap part is there but nothing below but witing and some tube/nozzle thing that I must assume is for the headlamp washers that I've never seen in action or even know how to operate them. Regardless, I have the dash light on and obviously no way to wash the windshield anyhow. Any pointers?

Thanks

The resevoir is secured by 4 10mm bolts accessed from beneath. You'll need a 8" extension in order to reach the bolts with a ratchet wrench. Pretty simple removal that can be accomplished without necessarily jacking up the front of the vehicle, although jacking does provide more working room.

Try to find a used resevoir from the junkers, as a new one is outrageously priced for a piece of plastic.
