<div class="bbWrapper">Found one online and I don&#039;t understand the door shape VS mine. Only thing I can think of is that they overhang somehow due to them being rectangle shape.<br /> <br /> Guy says its from a 73 CJ5 and when I asked about mine he said it would fit, but I don&#039;t trust anyone and like 2nd opinions before I drive 2.5 hours<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/291037145190?item=291037145190&amp;viewitem=&amp;vxp=mtr" target="_blank" class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/community/proxy.php?link=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F291037145190%3Fitem%3D291037145190%26viewitem%3D%26vxp%3Dmtr&amp;hash=e154e622d2853eaf7bd3eca6c5acee0d" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">Jeep CJ5 Metal Hardtop Will SHIP | eBay</a><br /> <br /> Here it is... needs some work but I&#039;m sure I can finger it out and find a way to secure it up to mine.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">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&#039;t quite remember which and apparently the angles are different.</div>
