Washer fluid reservoir cap replacement

The washer fluid reservoir cap on my 1996 5-lug broke. I tried to order a replacement part from Toyota, but they only sell the lid for the long-neck reservoir. I bought that part, and it was the wrong size.

It turns out that the reservoir cap is nearly identical in size to the lids used on 5 gallon water jugs. I bought a silicone lid from Amazon, and it fits! It is airtight, so I had to drill a tiny hole to relieve the vacuum, and to prevent the nozzles from dribbling when the engine compartment heats up.

 

Good on ya. Put this on the Cheap Tacoma Mods thread.
