    Is it possible to find aftermarket hardtop hinges?? I need the hinge that bolts to the windshield frame. Thanks

    Not quite that easy.

    What brand is the hardtop?

    Need to know what the hinges look like first. If you can't find used, you could fab them, or have them fabbed.

    The hinges seem to be the hardest part to find.

    They are not that hard to make 3/16 flat bar and 5/16 rod, and a torch. But then I guess that could be a challenge to someone.

    Not sure what brand. It has 3 Windows in the rear, if that helps. It also has the original jeep deacal on the inside rear corner. I'll try to post a picture

    I could fab my own if I had a good picture with a few dimensions.

    Dimensions have been posted recently. No time to search for you now... Use Google.

    Tried Google. Couldn't find it. I'm in no hurry since I won't need them until next winter, at this point. If you come across the thread I would appreciate the help. Thanks
