Now lets get that Windshield off...


3 different bolts in 1 bracket. Black,rusty and Allen dome top... REALLY????

OH,look, missing a bolt. LOL

Im gonna shave the door hinges and glass the holes in. This jeep will never see a top or doors again. Wife likes her top off!!

Access to wiper assembly.

Goofy looking wiper motor cover huh?

Someone used triple the dose of silicone by these defrost vents... WOW!
That little,little 10mm nut that connects the motor to the wiper armature was 32 minutes of swearing!!!
This is how you get a stripped dome top bolt out of its comfort zone
Every bolt in these hinges are either stripped or the nuts are siliconed in the firewall. Cobble,cobble,cobble!
Wondered why the dash lights didnt work at night... Didnt know you could ground metal to fiberglass.

Steering Wheel and Dash removal.

Here is the part I am going to HATE! I can only imagine the wiring mess behind this dash..... Im feeling sick

Nothing was ever illuminated at night.
CD player never worked. "What is that? A 90's Pioneer"?

WOW! Is that a black electrical tape beaver tail behind this deck?

NO COMMENT!

I shit you not, this speaker was sitting on the defrost duct work. Its suppose to be behind that grille you see

UM YEEEEEEEP!

Blower motor assembly...It actually worked.

Signal box..


WAH LA! Behind the dash...... I quit

I hope you're good at wiring!! It may be best to just rip it out, get a new harness and start over! Anyone who "grounds" to fiberglass obviously didn't know what they were doing
