Re: what is this thing?

Can't really tell from that picture but I'd say its a switch for something someone added. Looks like something hanging on the bottom of the dash also.

Re: what is this thing?

I'm wondering why it is in gear and shut off. Even if it is in neutral.... that's still on the retarded side.

Re: what is this thing?

Re: is it worth what they're asking.

Look carefully at the top edges of the windshield or corners of the drip rail. Typically what happens is that the drip rail sealant cracks and water gets trapped under it and rusts through the top roof metal an down to the windshield, etc.

That is hard to fix. I've seen that area get covered up with bondo but internally the damage is already done.

Personally, it seems a little high. But, if they're hard to come by up there, you may not have a choice.
