lift glass strut mount broken

[ChiefRudy]

The 02kj strikes again. The nub/mount on the lift glass for the support strut broke. I'm gonna take a wild guess and say the whole lift glass needs to be replaced but I'm going to ask anyway. Is there any way to replace the nub/mount on the lift glass? I thought of repairing it but it's small surface area and would be hard to jb weld and/or mighty puddy the thing back together.

Thanks again!

Time for a new rear glass.To much stress is placed on that area from the lift strut for anything to hold it properly for any length of time.

I agree with TJKJ.. While your at it.. pick up some new struts too never hurts to be over protective sometimes.. ESPECIALLY WITH A KJ .. Thank goodness mine hasn't started the whole MONEY PIT THING... but..now that I think about it my ****** has been acting weird..

Thats what i figured. Thanks guys.

I already planned on Replacing the struts too. There starting to rust out as well. Pretty soon this KJ is going to be new again after i get done with it lol.

Speaking of lift struts, are these a dealer item only or are there aftermarket ones?

I need new hood and rear glass struts.

Try E-bay, seen a bunch on there.

I was checking that last night as well. I found some pricing of a new rear glass and that costs about $500 so if I can find a used one for 1/2 that I be happy.

Check with the insurance company. It may only cover the front windshield though. I know in ky its required but idk if it covers both.

All glass under ThunderbirdJunkie's insurance is 0 deductible!

Maybe you'll get lucky

Chief........don't forget salvage yards. You might find a good one there. Just a thought.

I thought about this too but the window isn't really "broken". It still does the job it's sapposed too do. It just won't stay up it own anymore since There is only one pump. Plus it's still on her insurance and she probably won't go it.

The yards around here hardly have anything newer than 2000 model year. i think there is one Junk yard in the whole area that get new/newer vehicles.
