Mine sits close to the wash wipe reservoir neck too, you may have to 'fabricate'it a little bit

Mine rubs against the bottle and the oil catch tank (just) but there is enough room for it in there. if you want a bottle there are a few cars on here being broken for spares or try ebay, as far as I am aware all sapphires have the same washer bottle in the front.
