1988 Jeep Wrangler Windshield Replacement

I just purchased a used windshield frame for my 88 Wrangler. The glass was bad but the frame was good. Removal was tough due to the glass being caulked in. Are all of the 88 Wrangler windshields caulked in? Would you advise me to take both the new frame and my old one with the good glass to a pro to switch them?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

There's a recent similar thread about this over in the Wrangler Problems discussion:

After I change my oil the dipstick still reads "Add Oil"

After I changed my oil I checked the dipstick and it still read "Add Oil". I even used 6 quarts instead of 5.5 quarts. I checked all over and could not find any leakages. I have a 1996 wrangler with 230,000 miles and the 4.0L six cylinder engine. Any ideas why all of sudden the oil is coming up short?

If you have not had the Jeep since new, there is the possibility that the original dipstick was lost and replaced with the incorrect one. Also make sure nothing is causing the dipstick to hang up so that it doesn't go down all the way. My 1997 Jeep with the 4.0L takes a full 6 quarts each oil change, as it should with a filter change, and reads full when I am done.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah it could be that the dipstick was a little bent or something. Or maybe I should add 6.5 quarts because the mileage is so high. I haven't had my jeep since new, but I have had it for the last 110K miles, and I have changed the oil numerous times without incident.

I realize that I am replying to a post that was made five months ago, but, in case someone else comes along... no, the crankcase capacity does not change as the vehicle gets older. If it took six quarts of oil to fill the crankcase when the vehicle was new, it shoud STILL take six quarts.
There must be something wrong with the dipstick, or maybe someone has altered the oil filtering system in some way, so that more oil is required to fill the system.
Over-filling too much is definitely NOT good for the engine, so be careful.

TMV new car prices, used car pricing, used car values at Edmunds would be the best place to start.
