Hard top window

Jan 08, 2007 4 Replies

A while ago I posted asking if anyone knew if Icould get side windows for a CJ7 hardtop, since I smashed mine, acually twice on the same trail, different tree. So had no replies from here, no luck on any of the parts sites. Anyway today I decided I'd had enough looking at the X of duct tape holding it together so I went to the body shop to see about replacement, 81 CJ7, hardtop side window, she looks on computer, nothing, so she phones their glass supplier, he knew right away what she was talking about, said they are absolete, don't make them anymore, try the wrecker. So I went to a house window making company to see about getting a peice of



1/4" plexiglass, it only comes in 4'x8' sheets, will cost me $210.00 plus tax, so the glass guy says why don't you just put safety glass back in, I said didn't know you could cut that. How much? He says $11.00 a square foot. So for under $50.00 I get a new window 1/4" glass. Something for everyone to keep in mind if you break one.

Very nice! well done, sir.

Man I have been putting of fixing up my CJ5 hartop just for that reason...No glass...Say you know where I can find them dang door handles?

The back door handle of my CJ7's top is straight from a garage door maker I believe. It is identical to the garage door opener we had in our house, cables, latches and all.
