OK, need some help. I am getting ready to go on a long ride. Bugs this time of year suck. I changed the wiper blade as the rubber had been cracked and dry from all the sun. But my question is; where do you fill the windshield wiper fluid on the Spyder ?.....I cant find which cover to remove to get to the reservoir ?

Thanks in advance ! :thumbup:

Something is not right here. Spyders do not come with windshield wipers.
I kind of remember the makers of the F-4 windshield put wipers on a Gold wing.
Do not remember who makes the F-4 shield.

On my '14 RTL it is in the back where the cover was on the '12. That is why I didn't get a cover with the '14.

My washer fluid reservoir is next to my framus valve adjuster port. Be carefull and don't confuse the blinker fluid opening with the washer fluid opening.... they are not compatible and explosive if mixed. :yikes:

I guess Spyder Owners are dashing, debonair and intelligent too ! :yikes:

Have a great Summer and safe riding to all !

It's right behind the fill cap for the gas tank, under the seat. Looks just like the brake fluid reservoir, but don't confuse the two. Brake fluid on the windshield would be bad.

Finally someone found a replacement muffler bearing. Thanks Bob! My 1951 Corvette, Z06, split-window, convertible will sound great again.

Try their adjustable power bands; they'll blow your mind... :shocked:

If you think that you're up to it... their flux capacitors are reasonably-priced...

$15.8k is a bit rich for me.

But I did notice my Man Pedal is going almost all the way to the floor when shifting.

I bet that Heavy Duty Clutch Belt will do the trick.

It's gonna be a long HOT summer. When I bought mine it was an option. I think it was $1200-1500. Since it does not rain here in Arizona I declined. Salesman said it has a lifetime resivor ( how in the hell do you spell that?) and never needs filling.

If you use a Copper magnet
You can place it on the tupperware--

1.directly over The Windshield fluid cap

2.twist it vigorously to the Left (it is reversed threaded )

3.when fully opened pour fluid all over gap it the body panel directly over reservoir

4.when full (the gurgling sound stops)
Twist Copper Magnet opposite way untill a beep is heard

5.Get panel repainted (or use spyder wrap of your choice

Have a beer & reflect upon the ease of doing it this way as opposed to removing rear seat speakers!
