Hardtop Question

[Gus]

I received a hardtop when I purchased my CJ. I have been reading in the forums about repairs on the hardtops, but the question that I have is, did factory CJ hardtops ever come with vents behind the side windows? I believe that it is a YJ hardtop. What is the distance difference in hinges/windows between a CJ and a YJ hardtop? I am in need of a frame but the only thing that I can find is a CJ fiberglass window for $400 from Kentrol, is there a YJ replacement like this or what would be a good work around? Thanks for all the information and help ahead of time.

Okay, so from what Elwood Blues stated in his writeup I have a YJ hardtop. Is there any place that sells aftermarket frames for a YJ? I have seen people use plexiglass, but the stuff that they sell around here is pretty thin. I have seen the replacement glass, but no plastic or frame portion. Thanks for the quick reply BusaDave and Cheepjeep.
