Re: CJ dash replacement
Hi Jeff,
There's an quarter inch lip that runs all the way around the panel
that wraps around under the base of the windshield mount:

Re: CJ dash replacement
I would believe it has to be the other way around. You need to prop up
the hard top to fold the windshield down if you actually have the hard
top 'on' the Jeep....
The dash has bolts all along the top under the lip of the windshield.
I would recommend you start using a good penetrating oil twice a day for
a week on the windshield hinge pins before trying to fold it. The are
usually seized if not used.

Re: CJ dash replacement
Thanks for the responses. I don't have a CJ now, so I couldn't run out the
the garage and check... :-) (All I have is a YJ and a TJ)
