My flairs are also cut very high and the bottle shows, but the tire will hit the inner fender well and not the bottle. I dont think its needed to relocate it unless you find otherwise. I just sprayed the bottle black so its not such an eyesore.

Hey post a pic. I dont think ive seen it yet! Or maybe i have. I cant remember.
And i left mine there also. Your tire isnt gona hit it. Im just gona scrap mine once its not my DD anymore anyways. If you really dont like it, you can grab an old wiper bottle from a pre-97. They fit right behind the air box i believe.

When you go to post a reply, at the top of the box next to the fonts and stuff there is a paper clip. click on that. Then click browse and find your picture. Be careful because if the pic it too big, it wont upload.

You mean like this?
I'm im the same boat,I'm scared a rock or stick will ruin it.A DD needs this on it,IMO.
I thought about building a metal shield to protect it.

Like i said.. Only option i know of to move the washer bottle is to use a zj one or one from another vehicle. Heres a write up on it and a cowl intake. Just did the same cowl intake today actually..

i cut mine some more today to the top of the old fender flare line and it barely sticks out it i rub the inside top of the well before i hit that so i think im going to leave it seeing as i still need to bump stop..hopefully in the near future i can relocate just for looks.. i think i will try to use a 89 xj bottle

That seems like the best solution, im extremely close to having this same problem, but mine are cut just under the washer bottle
