 Filling the coolant reservoir
How in the world are we supposed to pour coolant into the reservoir? There is no room above the hole and even with a funnel the angle is so steep that my funnels wont work.

I use a long neck funnel. It is also easier if you remove the adjacent body panel.

Didn't have the proper type funnel the first time so I used one of the extension tubes off my small shop vac. Worked great. It's a military thing.....figure something out and gitterdone.
Identify what you have control over and find peace with what you don't.

Filling coolant
Get a small funnel and a 12" - 15" piece of fuel line hose. Push the hose on the end of the funnel and fish the other end into the over flow tank.

I picked up a funnel with flex hose attached at my local Autozone. Nice thing is it has a twist on/off flow at the funnel base so you can fill the funnel then control what you add from the tube.

The best 2 suggestions, #2 and #5; have them both. Not so sure putting a hose at the end of the funnel would be a good idea; always that chance of it ending up in the reservoir.

coolant reservior
I tried the "flexable hose" thing, but the hoses pinched and restricted the flow. So, I piddled around one day and used two pieces of 1/2" pvc pipe, about 4 in long, 1 piece about 2 in long and two 45 degree angles, attached a funnel to the "contraption" and it worked great. No need to remove all those panels.
