Nice wagon!! I am almost jealous that you have a manual window in the tailgate. I have been trying to find a replacement gear for the power window for two years now. No one make it.

Plus, as you found out, you have to lower the window to open the gate, then raise the window up to get at the regulator/motor assembly. Balancing the window on whatever!!

I would get it running and stopping, put a blanket on the seats and cruise!! No paint needed!!!!!


P.S. You also need a "Darksider" plaque!!!

Darksider plaque already arrived. The interior is actually still in pretty good shape, Steve paints all the widows with white spray paint and it keeps most of the sunlight out of them. Interior is a little crunchy but all there. I need to pull out all of the tailgate items and clean them up good, just lubing them up did not help the latches, to release and go back to lock. I have to make them move with a long screwdriver. I imagine the gears are a tough find .

No worries Andy, I did not take it that way. Was just explaining to those out there reading this.
Looking forward to seeing your wagon on the road.
