You might have to change the liner out after a while (maybe a year depending on how cold a winter you have and how thick the liner is and how corrosive washer fluid is) -- but that's a lot cheaper than a new resevoir.

thoughts?
I was thinking that it would be a good idea for someone to make a plastic insert that would expand to fit the reservoir. But the problem with these ideas would be how to attach the pump that's under the reservoir to the bottom of the bag with a water-tight seal. Probably not even worth the effort.
