     Can anyone tell me where the front windshield washer solution cap is. I
can
     see the tanks under the front wheel wells, but casually looking for the
cap
     hasn't produced the location. Pretty engenious where the brake fluid
     reservoir is, I wouldn't have looked for it there. Also, how do I make
the
     rear wiper work. I can get the washer to work, but not the wiper. (Did
I
     mention I lack a manual?)

Look under the carpet on the drivers side left foot floorboard area.  On
mine the carpet is just hangin on a hook thingy coming out of the side of
the van near where your left ankle is when driving.  They hid it well, took
me a while to find it.  To make the rear wiper work you push forward on the
wiper lever (push away from you).  If your washer is working it sounds like
you have figured it out but the wiper has a problem.  Good luck on the
project.

Maybe you should leave all those nuts in the van in case you get stranded
somewhere and need the emergency food source!
