Rear Washer Fluid Fill? Where?

I know ...I know. A NOOB question. I couldn't find the frappin' fill bottle for the rear window washer. I called the dealer and nobody was there who knew. Since I cannot locate it, despite being very determined, I must conclude that it draws its fluid from the front bottle under the hood (bonnet). True?

6 weeks and 2,000 miles, and I am lovin' my Hardtop!

You're correct, both rear and front windshield wipers share the reservoir bottle located in engine compartment.

This drove me nutz for a couple weeks when I first got my Mini too, finally downloaded the owners manual and it still took a while to find this info,... not a dumb question at all in my opinion, it is not intuitive !

Not so difficult to find anymore.

Index:
Washer Fluid Reservoir 69

third sentence:
All washer nozzles are supplied from one reservoir.
