This is the exception to the rule that further proves the rule. In the world of specialized trades or professions, the pros have to err on the side of the customer has zero idea what is going on. In the rare case that the customer knows what they're talking about, the tech can then consider this...

Safelite used to use Sikaflex, but now use Dupont primerless polyurethane. Same basic characteristics of Sikaflex, just doesn't require primer. I imagine that most windshield guys will not think the LC is much different from any other vehicle, which might explain many of the 'been doin this for...

Just so people are aware, there are approximately 5-6 major glass manufacturers that supply all automotive glass (not unlike the 12v battery industry). This goes for auto manufacturers as well. OEM glass is barely different from aftermarket, usually only having the MFR symbol silk screened on...

I agree, these posts are the driving factor. Trust me, it bugs me as well. Also have been around since before internet, cell phones, coddling, participation awards etc. Though, I did see many of these come to fruition, watching how they changed things overall.

Are you behind others on said gravel roads? Usually a rock has to hit with some force in order to chip, let alone crack the windshield. Glass can be very unpredictable but typically low speed impacts don't cause damage, unless previous damage is present. Edit: another white 100 in Syr! My...

Hopefully your local Safelite has a seasoned tech like mine does. He's bee in the business for over 30 years and has done his fair share of TLCs. Our LCs are very similar to many other vehicles of the era (when it comes to windshields, almost every car of similar age is the same, save for the...

"If I ask a question it's because I didnt find an answer in my search, or I want current info, or dont wanna be buried in some thread from 2 years ago." Gotta say, the search results on this forum are sad. More than half are results of threads with the "just search noob" that is prevalent in...

I think I forgot to come back to these threads when I witnessed my cruiser take fuel without flipping the handle or trickling it in. No condom on the nozzle, smooth fill up for the thirsty gal. So if you can get your rig to a station with the old school nozzles, you'll be good. Otherwise pull...

Just came across a guy on YT who swapped both axles from an 80 into his '99 100 series.

How’s that Amazon mirror holding up? Mine isn’t in great shape, specifically the mirror part, has weird bubbling/discolored issue.

Started mine up for the first time in a year. slight tick or rattle on slight acceleration. I’ll post the video to YT and link it. You can hear it between 15 and 21 seconds.

I'll take some of the current state. Hopefully will get to welding and blending before the snow falls.

Finally got around to taking off my deflector mounts and sure enough, rusted just like Kernal's. I'm half tempted to remove the nutserts, sand it all down, weld the holes and paint over it. My rear wiper works just fine in all weather conditions. Since my rear glass was blown out in 2018 I...

Checked partsouq and they have the line NLA as well. I've decided to just make my own with NiCop line. I bought one of the rear lines from Toyota last year but that long one you mentioned, from LSPV to the front is the one I haven't been able to track down. 4732460210 according to partsouq.

Finally getting around to posting pictures. Hardest part was finding small screws. I ended up using small hinge screws from a hinge kit I had lying around for a display box I was building. I haven't driven the cruiser in a while as I've been putting off fixing the busted brake line and leaking...
