Washer Fluid: Slowest flow since I turned 70.

Wow that must be a tiny little hole, took longer to fill the washer jug than it takes to fill the gas tank or empty my bladder. What's up with that?

I'll agree with your first two points. Really didn't need to know about the 3rd...

It does seem like a bit of a design compromise to position the fill close to the side of the car. Personally, I'd rather have to reach a little further in to get the fill a bit better aligned with the reservoir to allow for a larger neck. Some visual indication to the reservoir volume would be nice too!

What make funnel fits that shallow fill opening with the small diameter hole for a drain? I use a wide mouth funnel, but holding it for ages and holding the fluid bottle at just the right angle to control flow - also for ages - sucks whale gonads.

Won't increase the flow rate into the reservoir no matter how much you think about it

Yeah, but the funnel removes the requirement to "aim carefully".

Now that I'm up in the 50's I have to stand on a crate 'cause I can't get the same loft, but still easier than writing my name in the snow.

Great, now I'm going to feel like I'm urinating into my car's washer fluid reservoir every time I refill it, funnel or not...
