Help keep your washer fluid reservoir closed and its cap attached with the Dorman washer fluid reservoir cap, part number 54262, a Dorman OE FIX design that addresses the hinge breakage seen on some factory caps. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2014-2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2010-2021 Chevrolet Equinox and 2014-2021 GMC Sierra 1500, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
On certain Chevy, GMC, Cadillac and Buick vehicles, the plastic factory washer fluid cap often fatigues at the hinge until it breaks away, and sometimes it is lost completely. Dorman redesigned this windshield washer reservoir cap with a longer tether that flexes more freely. The design is intended to improve durability and help keep the same problem from coming back.
- Improved design: reworked to help prevent the tether breakage that affects the failure-prone original.
- Greater durability: the longer tether allows more flexibility and reduces fatigue at the hinge point.
- Quality materials: made from a tough yet flexible polymer for dependable service.
- Trustworthy quality: supported by a U.S.-based team of product experts and more than a century of automotive experience.
Signs this cap may need replacing include a cracked or broken hinge, a snapped tether, or a cap that has broken away or gone missing.
