Hello mud! Trying to return to the land cruiser family after many years of trouble free 100 series ownership.
After watching the 200 series market nearly daily for over a year I think we're finally close to pulling the trigger on a 2019 white/terra 45k miles for $65k @ CarMax. Goal was to get either a CPO or next best was CarMax with their warranty. Car lived in Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee. Clean title. Excellent condition.
Anyway, purpose of this post is 2 fold, possibly tracking down previous owner to know why they sold (kdss bolts coated in fluid film or the likes so figured that might just be a mud member thing) and had a couple questions about aftermarket Pilkington windshield.
Noticed the windshield is a replacement. While not entirely bad, the windshield trim is all jacked up. Broken clips, missing plastic pins and clips where weather stripping was removed for the install, etc... I can't tell how new the install is but I'm worried PO may have unloaded this rig due to water issues.
I've got 10 days to reverse the sale if needed.
I plan on pulling some trim pieces, front kick panels, under dash covers and soak the truck with a hose for a while and see if I find any water. Just super paranoid after reading countless horror stories from bad windshield installs and all the headaches that go along with that.
Anyway, looking forward to getting involved in the community again in the near future!
