Very dumb question: What are those little black things on the Sport hood called?

[Matts4313]

They are on the top, kinda look like grab handles almost? I want to take them off and paint them and was going to look for a video of other people doing it - - until I realized I have no clue what they are called.

Sorry for the stupid question. But I would appreciate any help you guys have!

They are for the windshield to lay on and hook to when its folded down. They also have the windshield washer fluid nozzles in them.

It's easy to spot those that don't read their owners manual.
It's a recommended read for any new Jeep owner.

I like using the online PDF, makes finding things faster than browsing through the physical book.

Awesome. Now maybe I can figure out what those damn buttons near the headlight switch are. I assume its various fog settings, but Jeep is an entirely different animal from a Corvette (the last vehicle I actually cared about and didnt just keep stock).

Jeep calls them tie-down bumpers.

Sign of the times, friend. The lack of reading and comprehension skills these days is part of the reason I retired from teaching. When every male and female person is referred to as a guy, we are doomed. A few more generations and we will have folks throwing rocks at the moon trying to knock off a piece of cheese.

Everyone should do it at least once.

Its amazing that you have this point of view while using technology that is advanced by the generation you are insulting.

This generation is significantly smarter than the previous, even if our grammar is bad. The next generation is even smarter (joke, I know its 'more smart'). The kids/grandkids have potential through the roof.

So you keep harping on your English lessons and/or sex-labels. We will fix the world. You decide which is more important.

(PS - Dont forget that all the Greeks you made a living off of were fluid in sex roles and mostly illiterate)
