Hello All,
Not sure if this is the right place to post this.
So, you go to a campground, pay a fee, and place the receipt on your JK dash. This seems pretty simple, until you discover that there's a bottomless slot between the dash and the windshield that will happily consume any pass, pen, or map you place there.
Anyone know how to access the bottom of this slot (pit). Anyone modify their JK to avoid this canyon? I can't believe that this design is intentional. Perhaps the designers never went into the outdoors where a permit on your dash is required.
Thoughts?
Thank you.
DG

I was the first to say it this time!
Got a link, suggestion, or other helpful advice? Search on what? "Black Hole" (403 hits)? "Windshield Gap" (95 hits)? "Dash Windshield"? (21 hits) - getting warmer. The problem with search is you gotta know pretty much what it is you need to search for. As the OP said, he wasn't sure if this was the right place to post this. So, if you have some links because you did the search and know the answers, please share.
Otherwise...

After you used the pip insulation, did you try running the defroster? was there any problems with air getting to the windshield?
