Oh my, what a pain. I have just spent 2 hours installing door glass for 1 door. Not an easy task, and I am so looking forward to the rest of them.

Two things - being very careful of my paint, and messing up the order in which items go in the door/ having to start over. At one point I was considering whether beating the glass in with a sledgehammer would work or not.

The sledgehammer method will get the glass into the door.........the bottom of the door.

And here you thought having three doors would make things easier. jk. I know the feeling. Some thing are fun, some aren't. But your truck is amazing! It will all be worth it in the end.

Yes, that is the backup plan if necessary. You can buy plastic welding kits with different types of plastic "welding rods". Basically you get a soldering iron and melt it back together/ add some filler.

No, I'm not on any sites.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

Success at the junk-yard!!!

I went and visited my old friend (since 6th grade) Eddie at Massey's Auto Parts and we walked the yard until I found a possible match. He had it pulled from a 2007 Chevy Trailblazer and I got the whole assembly for $40 just in case (thanks Ed). No need for everything since the reservoir fit perfectly!!! The ports are the same distance apart, same diameter, same length with the same rubber seal, all with the same mounting locations and the same electrical plug. WOW.

Now everybody can get some sleep tonight knowing my hood will shut.
