1965 CJ-5 Willys hard top.

Bruce, did you read my comment about your windshield and top fitment in your other thread?

 

Yes I did timgr, I got orig windshield but glass is cracked, when I get to that point I will get it replaced.

 

Okie dokie.

 

I did not see your reply. My other thread is about radio speakers I think. I will take a look. Thanks.
I think I now see where some of the misc. parts fit though. Anyone have an opinion on the doors? I have them and they appear like armored car doors.
I guess this hard top and doors are pretty rare. They are original to this jeep so I feel I should use them, but they an otherwise nice hardtop look cumbersome.
And this is California and who needs doors? Maybe I should just restore and mount the hardtop and put the doors in the back of the shop and leave it to my sucessor custodian of this jeep to figure out what to do with them.

That's the very same top I have. For sure I am going to restore and mount it on my CJ-5. I also have the doors. Not sure about them as they sort of look like they came off an armored car. Maybe some fabric doors would look better.

 

I have the doors too, need to do some repair to bottoms of them. And I have to get glass for one,but I kinda like the armor car look!!

 

I wonder if I could get you to take pictures of where the square tube above the door connects to the windshield? Mine has a rectangular vertical plate at the end of the square tube with two holes in it. The frame has one hole thru it.

 

Me to in the glass. Any idea where to get one? It's not square.

 

This is the best pic I could get, I just have the cab on temp, that why there is a c-clamp in pic. I hope this helps, its sounds like you are missing the bigger plate that is triangle shaped. as far as the door glass, I plan to go to a local windshield shop and take glass from other door as a pattern for them to make a new one.

Thanks. I have those pieces as well as two that are like a quarter of a circle with some weaterstripping. Think they go on each rear corner at the bottom of the curved area. I also have one pice of rolled sheet metal angle about 18 inches long x 1" x 1" with screw holes on one side and a few slots on the other side. it is painted the same color as the top. I can't figure out what it is. This top was on my jeep at one time so it must be part of the package.

 

Gosh I miss that top. My Jeep came with one of those, and a huge icicle ended its life one winter. I never did like the doors, however. I think the Myers doors look much nicer, even if the windows are less useable.

 

What do Meyers doors look like?

 

How are the windows less useable in the Meyers top? Mine had large roll up windows that were nice.

 

I agree with nick . they roll all the way down
