Default windshield washer reservoir removal

This may be the wrong section but I'm looking for an easy way to remove that big wide windshield washer fluid container in the front of the car. Thanks

Been a long time since mine's been out but from what I remember it's pretty straight foward. Have to remove the fiberglass bracket and it's right there no?

I just did this too. I just jacked up the car, disconnected the electrical plug for the washer fluid pump and then took out four (I think) small clips/pins that hold the botlle in. Then it just slids out the bottom...

Took maybe 5-10 mins to do.

Sticky up top says 2lbs for reservoir and 9lbs for fluid. So if you were riding around with it full it would be a total of 11lbs.
