    I own a 2004 Prius, and the windshield washer does not work. When I put water in the tank, it drains out. It looks to me like a hose broke below the tank.

    Can someone tell me how to remove the tank?

    I unscrewed the bolt toward the passenger compartment, and removed the hose that is fastened toward the motor side of the tank. There is a second fastening point just under the headlight housing, and I don't see how to remove this fastener. It seems as if I could get that unfastened, the tank will lift out exposing the hoses. I probably will have to remove the two electric connections, and would like help on this also.

    Thanks, Craig

    When looking down on the clip, you will need to squeeze the outer tabs in towards the center and lift all at the same time. Try using a small screwdriver under that tab and lifting gently, sometimes the tab will simply pop up with only a little tweak.....
