What a crappy location to put a liquid container.

A hole was mistakenly drilled into my washer fluid reservoir when installing my cut out flares. What sucks even more is that when researching installation tips in the past, many has warned of this having happened to them.

Can I use silicone or something similar that would seal the hole correctly, or do I need to by a new reservoir? It was a very small size drill bit.

I would recommend a little silicon and a small pan head screw in the hole. Stainless if you don't want it to rust. Other options include just silicon, some sort of epoxy, just a screw in the hole, Gorilla Tape (won't last), hot glue, gum. That's all I can think of right now.

Thanks much!

Thanks for the suggestions. I think the screw along with silicone will be a good choice. I'll make sure to chew the gum while fixing it.

You know, you could put the gum over the screw to disguise the repair. If somebody sees it and thinks you fixed your Jeep with gum you'll get some serious street cred.

Tape it now and get a new one junkyard as soon as you can.

Jb weld ' s "water weld"

put a piece of washer fluid hose, or tubing for a fish tank in the hole, stick some rtv on a screw and thread the screw into the tube through the hole.











sealed

I did the same thing. Put some gorilla duct tape over it and held for a couple years until I pulled it out for a snorkel

I cut mine with a sawzall cutting my fenders lol... Doesn't even think about it as my old xj didn't have it in the fender. Bought one from a part out here and good as new.

My first thought is a patch for a bicycle tire or some 2 part epoxy. It is just the washer fluid, it's not like it's a fuel line or part of your cooling system.

Permatex makes "the right stuff" its basically a super rtv. Got get some.
