A Riv Shopping Spree

I didn't take much time to blog this week, but I did get some online shopping in.

No, I didn't find a suitable wiper arm, but I did locate some windshield adhesive for a replacement rear view mirror, and something very clearly marked "Inside Rear View Mirror," and this:





But what actually showed up was this:



The glue will probably work, but the mirror is big, round, flat, and came with a 9" mounting bracket in a box marked "Jeep." Hmmm. It appears there was a derailment in the PartsTrain data entry department. This time, though, I saved the packing slip and will try to return it through UPS next week.


The repair manual arrived separately, and I've started flipping through it, dogearing pages that I'll probably need to spend some time with. In about three minutes I decided that the CV joints were probably in need of some help, and in another ten minutes, concluded that replacing those was probably above my pay grade.


I did get a paint shop referral today, and will be dropping by here some time next week with the body panels.
