Re: 40 turn signal options??
I think the confusion came in on the LED part. LEDs will be voltage specific, where the one tj was referencing is not LED so changing the bulb works

Best source for glass?
I need a left Quarter panel window for my 40 Deluxe Sedan. Where is best to get this? What is in there is still the factory glass, but some has cracked and fallen off the outer part of the window.

Re: Trunk Operation?
That seems to be what my 40 is doing. Only released the key when the handle is locked.

Anyone have a copy of the installation manual for these heaters? I figure since I have the holes in the firewall, and the parts I may as well put the heater back in.
If not a manual, pics...

Non pressure is good to know. The gasket on mine is looking rough, but if it isn't sealing pressure it's likely not as big of a deal as I was thinking.
