Stupid OEM bikini question
I bought a used OEM bikini, windjammer, tonneau combo off a 97 (says "Jeep"
on the tags, so I'm assuming its OEM). The header is a two piece, screw on flat aluminum arrangement with a round channel for the front of the top. Because the aluminum is brite, I assume the top must fold back over it in some fashion. Now where does this thing bolt on? On my CJ it bolted down on top of the windshield, slot forward. The Bestop site shows their channel bolted to the inside of the windshield slot up (seems that that would rip off at highway speeds). The guy I got it from said "when i got it installed on my jeep they installed it outside just above my window but its suppose 2 be installed inside ontop of the rubber where your hard top sits", which I'm having a hard time picturing... I'm at a loss. I can't seem to locate anything specific for this unit and the local dealers are not very helpful. Does anyone have one and know how it was originally intended to go on? Its still dead of winter here so I can't go play on the TJ but I want to get everything together for those first rays of hope... Thanx in advance for any pointers... -- wquin@bigfoot.nospam.com (Please remove the "nospam" when replying) 2000 TJ - OME, 31x10,and a lot of wishfull thinking |

You did NOT buy an OEM bikini. There is no such thing. Any bikini you found
is aftermarket.
