    I have a metal jeep top that is very similar to the Meyers top, but I have not found any manufacturers identification on it anywhere. I have roll up windows but the lower window track is missing. Does anyone have any idea where I may obtain one, or a good substitute? I have a picture showing the window regulator. It has a small tab sticking out to catch the window lower track, I assume.

    Is one side missing or are both sides missing? Can you take it to a metal fabrication shop and have something made?

    I am missing both sides. I was hoping someone would have a picture of one, so I would know what I need to make. I may have to go to the wrecking yard and look for options.

    Mine looks very much like a Beck or Kemco 300 series. I have the 45 degree angle on the top. Thank you for the help.

    Hopefully you can find some pictures somewhere of what you are looking for. Shouldn't be too hard for a fab shop to make, especially if they have an idea of what an original piece looks like.

    I found a picture of a lower track for a 1964 - 1966 Chevrolet Impala that looks like it might work, if the size is not too large. I will keep looking. Thank you for your help. In the meantime I am going to keep looking for technical info for the Beck top.
