Need Help! Getting to the windshield washer reservoir.

I've had a leak coming from behind my front passenger fender for over a year now and I'm having the worst time trying to get the fender off to access the tank. Please help me.

I've taken every bolt off that I can see and I am stuck at getting the fender liner off. Also there are some round things in the door opening and underneath the fender that I have no idea how to get around.

Thanks.

Pictures would help, but I think those round things might be the expanding rivets. Try prying them out.

"Sheight," man. I used to live in Gloucester, VA and Hampton Roads. I have always found good people on these forums. Glad to help out. I am ready to clean my w/w resevoir.

No need to remove fender.
The small rivets are generally single use unless you can locate the cores when you smash them out.
Carefully remove the fender indicator lamp housing to free the bottle. The rest is pretty straight forward.
