We have a ton more information on this and many other vehicles and if you need parts for your car, you can follow the link down in the description over to 1AAuto.com. Here are the items you'll need for this repair.
Remove the eight plastic clips securing the top of the bumper fascia onto the vehicle. You can use a trim tool, needle nose pliers, or a flat blade screwdriver to pop up the center section, like this, and it will grab and pull the entire piece out.
We have one plastic push pin here, just like the one we had on the top that you'll want to pop out the same way. Now you should be able to peel back the inner wheel liner just enough to remove this 10 mm screw. We'll do that using a 10 mm socket and ratchet. We'll then repeat these steps on the opposite side. Remove six more plastic push pins on the bottom of the bumper. On this wind dam, we're missing one here. Remove those the same way with our trim tool.
Remove the three T20 Torx screws. I'm using a Torx screwdriver, you can also use a Torx bit and ratchet. Remove these, and then our vehicle does not have fog lights, but if yours does your best bet is going to be to peel this back, and reach up there to disconnect them. Repeat these steps on the opposite side. Now once everything's detached, you may want the help of a friend to pull the bumper forward and off of its tabs. Don't be afraid to give it a good yank, and place your bumper somewhere safe. The best way to store these is usually like this on a pair of saw horses or a table large enough to support it.
Your washer fluid reservoir is located behind the bumper, underneath the passenger headlight. Be sure that there is a 5 gallon bucket underneath your washer fluid reservoir. Remove the electrical connector on the washer fluid pump and then carefully pry the pump backwards and out of the reservoir and into the bucket.
Remove the clips securing the fill neck for the washer fluid reservoir using a trim tool or a flat blade screwdriver. Then remove the filler neck from the bottle by wiggling and lifting.
Remove the fog light harness. Our vehicle did not come equipped with fog lights. If yours does, you'll probably need to unplug this connector, which will be right in this area. You should have it off with the bumper removed anyway. We'll also detach our washer lines and the electrical connector to our pump. Following that, up top, you'll find this harness retainer, which you'll want to push in and pop out, so our harness hangs freely.
Remove the 10mm hardware securing the washer fluid reservoir. We have a nut at the front, one at the top just below the headlight, and then a 10mm bolt over hear underneath the fender. We'll remove these with the 10mm socket and ratchet. You can now remove the washer bottle from the vehicle.
Install your new washer bottle, the two 10mm nuts, and the 10mm bolt. Reconnect the retainer at the top, as well as the fog light harness, and washer pump harnesses. Reinstall your two washer hoses, as well as the pump, and its electrical connector.
Reinstall the fill neck, as well as its plastic retainer.
Using the help of your friend, reinstall the bumper. Make sure the top lines up, and you'll want to set the sides in and simply pop them into place. Reinstall the eight plastic trim clips by setting them into the openings and then popping the center section back into place. Reinstall the 10mm bolt into the corner of the bumper at the fender, then set your wheel liner back into place. Don't forget the plastic clip. Repeat these steps on the opposite side.
Reinstall the three T20 Torx screws on the bottom of the bumper fascia on each side. Also reinstall the six plastic clips, securing the air dam to the bottom of the bumper fascia.
Once you've finished making your repairs, you can refill your washer fluid reservoir.
