I got the Jeep’s new rear window hinges yesterday and we’re due for another snowstorm tomorrow, so…
…my window of procrastination on this chore was brief. Temperature’s up to 44o this afternoon, so although the mud was annoying at least I wasn’t shivering in a heavy coat while I tried to hold a frickin’ heavy window over my head with one hand while groping for tools and fittings with the other. Sheesh.
Now, the first time I had to replace a broken rear window hinge, it – er – ended badly. And since I never exactly determined what I did to deserve that particular scary disaster, let’s just say I was proceeding with extreme caution to go with the extreme difficulty. But I guess practice makes adequate, because this one went without a great deal of drama. And now I’m ready for the coming snow.
You could have asked Tobie for a helping hand, paw.
Congratulations bro, well done! (as he ducks needing to send you a new one) 😉
Yeah…screwing with the back window of a TJ hardtop is a royal PITA. You need three hands and a monk.
“…hold a frickin’ heavy window over my head with one hand while groping for tools and fittings with the other.”
Somewhere there is an engineer who had a hand in designing this rear window setup, and that prick is laughing.
Let’s get real here Joel. Do you actually have a favorite “Jeep-related chore”?
Ben: Probably “getting out and sitting down in my Lair’s chair”
Um…
Wait, I’m sure there’s something…
