thank you, but it still doesnt offer the location of the reservoir

Number 1 in the picture I believe. Should be on passenger side probably in the area where the roof goes into or just below that.

I haven't looked real hard but I believe everything is contained in the area behind the rear seat. You have to start to lower the top and then stop to be able to see into that area.

tried that, only thing you can see is the seat belt winder. I would like to add fluid to the reservoir. I can do that myself i just need the location perhaps with picture...dont want to pay the stealership for something i can potentially do myself.

I think the trick of being able to see thing is to stop the movement of the top at the right place and then find a way to hold the mechanism in position.
