Splish splash - where's the water?
At the risk of appearing like a total idiot (not a new experience for me), where's the water bottle for the rear window washer on this 85GSL I just got? It was squirting fine, and I assumed it came from the front bottle, then it quit, and I can't find a separate motor and tube on the front bottle. So I assume there's a bottle hidden somewhere. Else.

Yeah....
There is a bag. Looks like a rubber hot water bottle. Its on the driver's side (or rear left).
You can pull back the carpet type material, or whatever it is, (I think it pulls up) and you will see it in there. It should have a hose that goes to the front of the car. I figure it refills itself? Maybe your refill hose is gone?

Rear Washer
There is a "bag" hanging in the left rear interior behind the carpet panel--just forward of the left rear tail light assembly. It has to be the cheesiest design feature on the car, ranks right up there with the joystick for sound balance.

The rear washer motor is attached to the bottom of the washer bag that hangs suspended on 2 hooks behind the hanging carpet piece. I did not know that the bag refilled. On my SE I do not have clearance for the rear wiper with my rear hatch louvre to work so I do not use the rear wiper but on another SE I had till '96 I refilled the windshield washer bag at the cap on top of the bag. I do not recall if there are one or 2 clear hoses leading from the rear bag to the rear wiper and to somewhere else (the front) I really thought it had to be refilled but I may be wrong. Can anyone clarify?

1) You have to fill the bag
2) Fill through the cap
That's it! I mean, even in the Canadian Versions of the GSL and the GSL-SE we have headlight washers and the fluid for that is in another "water bottle" if you will.

I thought at first this post was going to be about a leaky glass hatch and the water was filling up someone's spare tire well... I was going to suggest that... lol
