Title: Inclement weather
Post by: trijjicon on March 26, 2016, 09:38:59 AM: Been all rainy down here lately. I need a top. That roll bar is higher than the top of that 2A windshield.(Honestly, I prefer the 2A windshield over the 3A one). With abit more research, we have determined the body is indeed a 3A. Also, that the seat frames r 2A. I want to stay as close to original as possible but somewhat torn. I guess I could cut that roll bar down abit to make it line up & get another 2A windshield or go with the somewhat taller 3A windshield. Could u guys recommend a good top for a 3A? At least an overhead cover with doors. Plz advise.

Omix Ada...They are a distributor of MD Juan parts.ï¿½ There is some 'good' and 'not so good' stuff from MD Juan.ï¿½ They have been working to improve their 'not so good' stuff.ï¿½ ï¿½Quite honestly, I'm happy that there is a company like this out there.ï¿½ Without them, it would be more difficult, and more expensive to bring these things back to life.

I have been driving through some heavy rain and have to say, the canvas doors do not do much, more of an annoyence then any help, you would be better of fabricating some easily detachable raingaurds on the side of the windshield so the rain blows "around" the Jeep?
