With the internal void already filled, half my problems are already gone. This picture shows how I filled in these two divits to allow the hinge to make full contact with the plate when tightened down.

This is the inside of the plate where the latching mechanism mounts to.

It probably is overkill but i already had the tools out so I flled that in also. I seriously do not want to try to do this a fourth time.

Just as a side note incase if anyone didn't know, Chrystler also updated the latch. The rounded one is from a Renix (dont know the specific year) and the pointed one is from my 96. The tabs also have different hole placements.

My 96 one went back in and I lubricated it with white lithium grease.

I also used full length screws to minimize the stress on the fragile plastic posts.

With that being said, the whole thing was reassembled and reinstalled.

Here's the Commanche vented lower dash next to my 96 XJ one. They are very similar with only a few differences changed throught the years.

This is the size comparison to what the factory rivets were, and the size i drilled the parts out to.

Here it is installed. I also have the vent hose, but it's not yet installed as I dont know exactly how it was mounted from the factory (if anyone has pictures or those parts for sale, that would be appreciated) I also have factory dash speakers for it, but dont have the the mounting hardware.

I got two child protection lock decals for the rear doors. These are reverse decals, as they stick onto the inside of the glass.

The electric fan shroud got a new sticker too! I also bought a second one of these as I might install another OEM electric fan in place of the mechanical one. Hense why I havent changed the mechanical fan shroud yet.

The last decal that I applied was the XJ Preservation Society sticker. I follow them on Facebook as I am attempting to somewhat restore my XJ!
