I need one hatch vent. One of these:

Anyone got an old one they could part with. I don't care if the mounting pins on the back are intact or not. I'll just glue it on at this point! ☺️

I have one of these I'd be happy to donate. It's a little bowed in the middle, but still has the pins. I'll be in Nashville next week and will bring it along in case you still need one. Good luck on your drive!

Been There, Done That! Pouring rain. And Nothing like soaked pants on a bike!!

Thanks for the words of wisdom and encouragement everyone. I appreciate the support!

I've been driving The OG around for a couple days ago, and my back isn't the happiest. I've changed not much else in my life in the past week, so I'm assuming it's the seats. There's no springs, and I assume all the straps underneath have turned to dust. I've got a couple car seat cushions on order from Amazon. They'll be here before the trip, and I'm hoping one of those options helps. I don't have time to do anything with the seats the right way.

So today, I got my shift boot installed. Put the grommet in the right way (with help from @SpeedRoo):

And then promptly folded it correctly down into the abyss where nobody will ever see it. Haha!!! So it's installed the correct way, but nobody except me will ever know. And, of course, all of you:

4 DAYS!!!

Awesome! Thanks much! Make sure we have a way to find each other once we get there. I'm hoping to get there mid-day on Monday.

Send me a PM when you get a chance.
