phenryiv1 Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 The inserts into which the headlight adjustors are inserted have cracked and my MJ has a case of droopy-eyes. No amount of adjustment works, as the threaded adjustors simply slip out of the inserts. Dealership replacements are NLA and they did not give me a part number. Is there a source for replacement adjustor parts? Or any acceptable substitute? I bought several universal insert packs but none of them were even close to fitting that particular location.
onlyinajeep726 Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Junkyard... That's the only place I've been able to find them.
phenryiv1 Posted July 22, 2013 Author Posted July 22, 2013 Any Jeep/Chrysler/etc. vehicles newer than the 2001 XJ that has the same inserts? 12+ years is pretty old for injection-molded abs plastic. If there is anything newer with the same inserts I might try starting there. And for that matter, are the 97+ inserts the same as the 84-96?

Alexia Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 There is aqua colored one that Auto Zone sells for GM vehicles that works perfectly for XJ/MJ header panels. The only problem that I found with it is that it clips perfectly in only a couple of the spots, but not all of them. That could also be an issue with my cheap eBay header panel.

I found "universal" ones for the header panel to attach the grille, but not the headlight adjustors.
