Default Windshield Wiper Fluid Tank/Badges

After going to my job and buying some wiper fluid thinking to myself "damn I used that whole gallon already" As i poured it in the top it came out the bottom I have a hole in it like a rock hit it and cracked it or sumthing... Anyway I need a new tanj. I was wondering about how much it would cost and is it a DIY job or should I let a pro handle it??

Also I want to get some of the new Silver SS badges and replace the ones on the back and side my only problem is how do I take the old badges off? will the part the badges were on need to be repainted? and how do I make sure the new badges dont come off?

Wait for a hot day. Get dental floss, and just see-saw action the badges right off. Then use some goof-off / goo-be-gone and remove the rest of the adhesive. Clean and wax the surface really well after that.

Stick on the new badges.



Those badges were on my trunk for 9 years, and you can hardly see the area that they were. (I kept the trunk clean, replaced the sides with silver)

If I was going to switch out the badges I'd buy OEM ones already with the tape on them. Seems to be a lot easier than trying to tape up the back of some used ones. I posted a link to some chrome ones on ebay that I think would look good on your Monte. They have the tape on them too so you could just remove yours and put these in place of them and they'll last a long time seeing how they're OEM quality. But silver would look good too just not sure where to find a set.
