Remove header panel without destroying it?
Has anyone had luck with removing the nuts that hold the panel on from the top? I got a ‘00 parts jeep and want the panel but the nuts look quite stuck.

I guess it depends on your location. Get some good penetrating oil. I use PB Blaster, but Deep Creep, Kroil and others do good job. Let them soak a bit. If you can, apply some heat with a torch.
I live in SoCal and don't typically have issues with rusty hardware except for exhaust clamps.

Freeze-Off by CRC. My Napa carries it and it is amazing.

Yeah. They just don't have a huge advertising budget like PB does.
