Looks like the real deal.
It has standard rivets on the bracket, not pop rivets like the ones that are suspected to be repops.
Will be interesting to see where this ends. Seller is Megaparts.

Another one. Rivets look different.

Correct.
This is an example of what I will call a suspected reproduction from 15-20 years ago.
We don't know for sure if they are reproduction or if somebody found a stash of the bottles and had to make up the brackets, or possibly they are old stock, late production, that just happen to have a pop riveted bracket.
My guess is that they are reproductions, because the plastic is so nice on them. All the true NOS ones seem to have at least some discoloration of the plastic, even the one that just sold which had been sealed in it's original box.

That is the '90s reproduction bottle. The rivets is how you tell an OE one. National Moparts up in Canada still has a few of them left but not cheap by any means.
Fyi QQEs coming reproduction is actually molded off one of those '90s repro bottles and not an actual OE one. But they are identical in almost all regards except for those rivets and maybe the black cap. Will QQE make theirs with the correct rivets?
Give them a call and ask. You know which ones are correct so help them out.
I bothered them last week about the battery cables!

I spoke with Todd at QQD today when ordering a hood pad. He said about 2-3 more months until they start molding new washer bottles. The tooling is currently being finished up.
I have heard the same thing regarding our battery cables for several years now too! Supply chain issues still abound it seems..............................
