Yeah, I discarded the whole "gland" idea a long time ago. That being said, there are already 12 holes in my roof from the roof rack. I did use an overly-liberal dose of RTV in and around each bolt so I'm hopeful that there won't be a leak but I do know that it's a possibility.
Regarding the KC wire hider, I tried that with miserable results. I felt like I did everything correctly including cleaning the glass with alchohol prior to applying the adhesive but after the first rain fall it started coming un-stuck to the point that I worried about it flopping around and eventually off while on the interstate. I ended up running it down the side of the window with dabs of clear RTV to tack the wire in place. It seems to be doing the trick and you really have to be looking for it to see it.

I would run this ^ down the front window channel, under the cowl, directly into the engine bay and you can easily route the wiring into the firewall from there on the driver side. Zero chance of a leak and if you ever get tired of having overhead lighting, it's easily removable.
Thanks for the input though!
I don't have any pictures, as I stopped when I realized the Pass side is where the Rear AC pieces are and there is little to no room. There was one member who removed it but I can't recall who that was.
Perfect demonstration of why insurance companies are quick to total these. "Minor" appearing damage takes tons of manhours to repair properly, even though completly doable with right skillset and equipment. Even these guys, who seem to be pros, grossly underestimated the job.
After seeing this video, I need to take my center console off. Many months ago, the shady service manager told me they had to take my center console off, to replace the head unit. Obviously not necessary at all. Makes me wonder, in light of this article..

I'm no EOD Guy. Nothing humbles a man quite like a ten-minute job that has the potential to destroy an entire weekend—and maybe an iconic truck. I finally admitted something I've been fighting for a while: my hands just aren't steady enough anymore for this kind of meticulous work. The smartest tool in my toolbox now is knowing when to close it, go to work, and pay someone whose hands don't shake every time they hold a f'ing screwdriver.

I saw some photos of a recovered stolen Land Cruiser that looked like that when found
:shudders:
I just installed mine. Didn’t have a tool so used a skinny flat head screw driver. Worked like a charm. It was a pain getting the 2 fake buttons out but did it and looks great.
Welcome to the asylum.
hi all, if im not wrong, using the schemes availables that some users have added, to acces to the rear of the dashboard (ODO), i need to access there there to put this piece in place, its necessary previously to take out 1/2 of the inner part of the car
Since you have to remove the frame to access the odometer screen, and to remove that frame you need to remove the other frame from the center display, and to remove that one you have to take off a lot more trim pieces, right? Or am I just getting confused by the diagrams?
Does anyone know the exact location of that connector? Can you access it without having to take everything apart? By accessing it from below?

Man there is a lot of good info in this forum. Y’all rock!
That LC theft recovery pic w/ all what was taken off is crazy - guess that all ended up on eBay…
Even they didn’t want the roof rack cross bar noise-makers!

Finally done
thanks all the team
Now I just need to run the rear sensor wires from the passenger compartment to the rear bumper. Has anyone done this before? I’ve already figured out where to route them from the front, but I’m not sure how to run them from the trunk to the rear bumper. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I may have missed it, but I'm unsure what you are installing. It would make a difference on my advice on routing. I have wires routed along the driver's side trim panels/door sill plates/headliner and others routed under the center console/under the carpet/under the cargo floor and exiting through the rear hatches accordion boot to an external antenna .Finally done
