Good question!
Opening the hood
is the only way to refill your windshield washer fluid in a
Honda Accord
. Luckily, it’s a very simple thing to do if you follow these steps:
  1. Find and pull the hood release. You can find the pull tab to pop the hood in the driver’s side footwell of the vehicle, between the door and pedals. Pull it towards you until you hear the hood release.
  2. Lift the hood, which should be loose after releasing it from the inside. Stick your hand in just above the Honda emblem until you feel the release latch. Press upwards on the latch and lift the hood.
  3. Find the prop rod and use it to hold the hood in place. Pull up on the rod and extend it to reach the hole on the underside of the hood.
Once you secure the hood, you can refill your
washer fluid
using the blue-capped reservoir to the left of the engine.
