    Exclamation Windscreen washer bottle

    Hi
    Does anyone know where I can get a new rubber grommet for my vr/vs commodore windscreen washer water bottle?
    I bought the bottle and motor new from Holden, but guess what the little rubber seal that stops it leaking around the motor are no longer available from Holden.
    Smart and helpful
    Tried the vn/vp one for the bottle on top of the strut tower (which strange enough is still available NEW from Holden) but it seems to be too large.
    Thanks for any help.

    what shape is the seal? maybe try a wrecker if the seal can be removed without damaging it, or a bearing/seals place.

    thats an interesting one, ive never had to replace that seal, will silicone work? or can you cut yourself a cork gasket?

    It is a tight fit around the pickup shaft of the pump motor and it sinks about a inch into the bottle. the original had a filter on the bottom of it.

    A simple fix is put silicon around the opening in the bottle then put the motor in before it goes hard then let it set
