Sigh....
I changed a transmission fluid last night and my wife yelling at me that food is getting cold. I rushed it and put screw back without an O ring.....woke up this morning and found small drips all over argggg!
Its definitely her fault LOLOL!
Btw, does Montero 2.5 have transmission oil filter? Because I know some car don't and it is pretty common.

You are braver than I. I need to do it, but I struggle with mechanical things. I've only recently learned how to unscrew the gas cap
Getting down to the spark plugs in this thing looks like quite a chore.

Replace a reveal for windshield.
Pop it up, but do it very slowly because you do not want to damage the inner clips.
The green inner clippers are still in good condition (and I also didn't buy extras).
Old vs New
Upper reveal
Left side reveal
All out
Pop in the new!
Easy as pie, and the longest part was to make sure I didnt damage the inner clips!!
This weekend I will spray paint the whiper arms since they are hideous.

awesome! I actually need to replace the seal along the bottom, it seems to have some kind of adhesive on it, is that a 'glass company' job?

I did not replace the bottom part because it is still in a good shape and I am not in a hurry to replace it because it's not cheap.Replace the reveal for the windshield.

However, I am expecting the bottom reveal to be like the rest of all other sides.
I also did not use any sealing adhesive because I don't think I need to after a research and watching YouTube.

Similar to windshield reveals replacement, the only thing I didn't use was a rubber mallet....since I used my fist instead. Speaking of my fist as a mallet...I need to get an ice pack.

Front Torsion Bar adjustment
So I had been reading and searching the internet but it seems like I am hitting the dead end.
I am a very visual person and I need help!
These are the pictures that I took, which one is the torsion bar bolt? Or I'm not even close?
This picture is the torsion bar. It runs horizontal. I've never tightened the bars though.. I assume that you lift the front end to take all weight off the bars, then tighten them with equal turns for both driver and passenger sides.
**Edit - this is bad advice, you want the car on the ground (see jlocster post below)
