Good to hear Eric.

Wise choice getting the fully bent version. Bending your yourself at home from flat pattern is doable but no where near as nice as done well on a press brake .

I suspect this will result in my windshield reservoir  lasting the life of the van.  If not I’ll use it to support and protect the next reservoir.
