Chris, I think the term you were looking for was "reservoir". Sometimes
the car manufacturer may stamp their own brand name on the part, however:
"Vizi-clear", or something like that.
Roland, "A5" is an international standard size, commonly (usually?)
(always?) applied to stationery or other two-dimensional stuff. I don't
have a piece of A5 paper handy, but a sheet of A3 I have here is roughly
11" x 16 1/2". Our office copier has a measurement scale alongside the
copying glass which indicates that A4 is about 8 1/4" x 11 3/4". I'd guess
that A5 might be about 6" x 8". (I suppose these are all nice round metric
measurements, but I only have a Yankee ruler :-)

fit nicely.
