Title: Yj replacement windshield frame
Post by: Black Betty on May 19, 2014, 04:14:20 PM: Anywhere locally to buy one? I need one asap. Was travelling from langdon to the NW today and the windshield started cracking just from the wind. I dont want to replace the windshield without the frame as I dont think there will be much left of it when the old lass is removed.

Need the jeep road worthy by June 9 when I start my new job. Wont have the new truck by then so the jeep will have to do for the first month or so.

No windshield frames left or they are rusted like mine.

Interesting! Is it not too rusty?

I will bring it to the meeting tomorrow if you like.

Post by: Black Betty on May 20, 2014, 05:21:21 PM: Got my new windshield frame and cowl gasket ordered today. Should be here by Monday. Decided to check the hing bolts to see how many i world need to drill out, turns out none.

Windshield is so bad you can see it bend when pressure is applied to it.
