Empty Windshield washer reservoir

Hello,

Does anyone knows how to empty the windshield washer fluid reservoir on these new G's? I'm trying to empty mine because it got refilled with soap at service and my windshield protection film will loose its color if not used with clean water only.

Thanks

Put something in front of the spray jets to deflect the residue away from your windshield.

Is your protection film incompatible with conventional blue antifreeze washer fluid?

Hmm. I’ve had exoshield and now clearplex and both have been fine with washer fluid. Maybe ignorance is bliss on my part but I haven’t seen to use water only.
