Description

Five years ago, I faced a broken windshield washer cap in frigid Canadian weather. Frustrated with waiting for an OEM replacement, I designed my own.

I've desinged a range of caps for various Ford vehicles. Tested on multiple models, they're designed for easy snap-in and snug rotation. Simply print in ABS or ASA, use supports, and you're good to go!

Feel free to request custom designs based on your car's dimensions and photos. These caps have proven durability and enhance your engine bay. Make sure to check the compatibility list below

The tab is there if you want to add a retainer, I would use a stainless steel wire and loop it around the container.

I've included a blank one in case you want to add your own design.

Tested Vehicles:

  • Ford Focus ST
  • Ford Focus RS
  • Ford Focus
  • Ford Escape
  • Ford F150 - 2014

Engines tested on 2.3L and 2.0L - It should fit on most but not tested yet:

  • Ford Mustang 2.3 Ecoboost
  • Ford Maverick 2.0

The ones that have not been tested yet, are the bigger engines, for the Mustang, SUVs, and Trucks.

For any other fords with similar configurations, I'm expecting them to have used the same windshield washer fluid container.

Printing:

ABS or ASA recommended - I haven't tested any other material but PETG might withstand the heat in the engine.

0.2mm height and use supports, print with the logo up.

 

Added:

  • Ford SVT - Not Tested
  • Cadillac - Not Tested

This does not fit a focus RS. Its like 2mm smaller. Im going to try 103.8% and see if that fits.

Hmm interesting 🤔 I thought the had the same one as the ST, I know I've made them tight so they don't fall off. Good to know tho, thank you 🙂

Replying to @Hydrotatic :
I had the same problem making them for my civic too. They fit perfectly when I made it with PLA and then drove the car a few days and it was way too tight. PETG is a lot better but I need to buy some abs and asa to try on some stuff. I Increased your design 2% and it went on super easy. First was too tight, the 2nd was too loose.
