Gotta bite the bullet and buy the glass. It's not a replaceable part.

"Rad" means radiator. HOAT is the correct type of coolant to use.

Just use a velcro strap Here's my system. Cheap, secure and no holes. The velcro strap is from Home Depot. The blue pad is an extra one supplied with a bike helmet and it just cushions the free end so it doesn't tap against the seat bracket. I know it looks a little too simple, but it works...

I keep my 3 D-cell maglite in the little channel between the base of the driver's seat and the door. Just a velcro strap holds it tight against the seat base.

So I'm confused about one thing. I see that people say to let the RTV cure for 30 mins or longer before putting the cover back on. But the factory service manual says this: "CAUTION: If cover is not installed within 3 to 5 minutes, the cover must be cleaned and new RTV applied or adhesion...

Advice on accessing rear gate latch? Got it, thanks! This blows. Went to open the rear gate on the KJ and the handle just pulled straight out. Whatever connects the handle to the latch mechanism came loose or broke. Gate won't open. Service manual says the square access panel on the inside...
