Windshield Measurement
Improper windshield
adjustment will result
in a poor fitting top and
doors, causing looseness or undue strain on the
top.
69 1/2"
Before installing the top, check the windshield
measurement. The distance from the top inside
edge of the windshield to the top inside edge of the
body must be 69 1/2" on both sides of the vehicle.
Measure from 6" inside the doors.
CJ5 Windshield Adjustment:
If
necessary, loosen the two screws
in the Windshield Clamps at the
base of the windshield on each
side of the vehicle. Adjust the
windshield forward or back, use
a shim if needed to position the
windshield, and tighten the screws.
Loosen bolts in clamp
bracket and slide bracket
up or down to adjust. You
may have to place a shim
between the windshield
and the body.
