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...

Well first off is it a bikini or a thong? second, I hope you bought it for
someone of the female gender to wear, not yourself.
as for the fit and installation ... this seems like a very informative site

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