There should be a metal plate with a hole on the side so you just put a screw there to hold down the plate which one end is over the bottom of the battery foot.

It should be located in-between the washer bottle and the battery.

I don't think there is anything that holds the washer bottle down. Mine seems to kind of wedge itself in their.
