Mine is rusted to the point of "tail" and "gate." I fear my rear windscreen is going to come crashing into the street any day now. It's time to plunk down ~$400 to fix this baby.
I don't really want to go with an original part again, i.e. a used screen. I'm planning on keeping this truck for many, many, many years, and I want it to be replaced once and only once. I also have tinted windows from the backseat back (2x previous owner, not me), and I want it all to match.
So, then, I'm thinking one of the various aluminium frames. But not sure which one to get. I'm leaning towards the Rovers North one, admittedly because it's the only one I can really find in the USA. But any ideas or comments before I take the plunge?
Also, how long does it take to rebuild the tailgate? I have to tidy up some wiring while I'm at it, and replace much of the inner metal trim (the 90-degree pieces that cover the wiring). And the gasket on my current one has gone to shit, and I don't think my CHIMSL works right now.
Rule Britannia.
