Mark,

The cap costs a small fortune at your dealers, but it is the same cap as
used on the older squareback's windshield washer bottle, which is relatively
easy to find at a wrecking yard.  It has to have a negative pressure
reliefto allow air in as you empty water out, so a soda pop bottle cap won't
work too well, even if it does fit.
