    Body mount bolts - reusable?

    Yeah, your good. Torque to spec and don't lose sleep over it.

    Disappointed in Wix

    Mann is owned by Purolator. I despise Purolator because their filter collapsed on my m104 mercedes ( no internal cage to prevent it). I sent filter to them and their response was " your fault". So I despise Purolator and all associated with them. I'd only recommend using them in your ex'es car.

    Hengst or JLR from FCP for me too. Just sent back 3. Even with inflation adjusted it's about $8 per filter. ( Lifetime warranty replacements cost more than original purchase).

    Cheap self pdr? Heck yeah

    Used this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0F9KQYBTR?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title Broke a few plastic tabs, but just part of the experience. And went from this, to that. Good enough for me...

    Rear high mount taillight replacement NOT the worst..

    If you can wait, AliExpress or similar has ones that are very reasonable. Those tools are sharp and slice right through the urethane. Keep the beveled edge pointing up and leave a very thin layer on the body. Then use primer on both body and tail light. The primer can be used to fix spots...

    Roof glass replacement possible?

    Ha, local guys wouldn't entertain doing it at all. Said they don't do them anymore, too much hassle. Disassembly and prep was the hardest part ( recovering headliner tomorrow). Bought battery caulk gun and eurathane tubes. Dropping it in was pretty easy with three people

    1700 from dealer was best price I could find. $200 for used one was much better. I fully understand why no glass guys around me wanted to do it.

    Tree took out roof glass and brake light. The crack from tree made it easier to started the removal. Besides It was faded and annoying me so my OCD is calmed now.

    Replaced third light. Used welding pliers to pull large sections at a time after slicing the urethane using these https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CMP967Y9?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title Removed old one in 20 mins with those tools.

    Indeed it is, hardest part for me was getting the glass. Second pic was the shattered one that came out. Tree fell on it.

    Multiple repairs on a 70K miles 2013 LR4: what can I expect next

    I'd put front lower and rear upper control arms, possibly valve covers on the radar. If I had to guess the next "need" of a 13yr old lr4. Other than maintenance they are pretty solid after cooling system is sorted.

    2013 LR4 headlight lenses on eBay

    Agree, most recent one I used a $13 kit from Amazon on a drill. And only bought the basic Sylvania kit. Just spray bottle and sealer. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0F6NB2JJV?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title Should do at least three sets of lights with that $13 kit

    2013 LR4 headlight lenses on eBay

    I've used the Sylvania kits on multiple vehicles. Lr4 are one of the easiest because of how easy ( if the clips slide) they are the remove. Sylvania kit has lifetime warranty and the uv blocking top coat won't yellow.
