Will this hardtop fit my 79 CJ5?

[Rexx66]

Found one online and I don't understand the door shape VS mine. Only thing I can think of is that they overhang somehow due to them being rectangle shape.

Guy says its from a 73 CJ5 and when I asked about mine he said it would fit, but I don't trust anyone and like 2nd opinions before I drive 2.5 hours

Here it is... needs some work but I'm sure I can finger it out and find a way to secure it up to mine.

The '76-'86 windshield is different from the earlier CJ5 winshield.

So basically "no"...

I offered the guy $300 and I would go get it, but he won't budge off the $500 he says and if it doesn't sell at $500 he is listing it Buy it Now for $795...

Not sure I get the theory on that one, but whatever...

I have heard of some folks replacing the windshield with either a newer one or the older one. One is wider than the other, can't quite remember which and apparently the angles are different.
