If you get a newer style you must also get a rubber plug for the second washer motor mount hole.
I was hoping it was a seal. But as it turned out, my reservoir has several cracks that are just too big to repair. So, the JC Whitney bag still seems like the best option -- especially if it's not too difficult to install, and the pump can still be activated by pushing the turn signal in. So, I'm hoping Oceanfront with tell us more about it?
