What is a jeep hardtop made of?
 

I have a 2000 TJ. Is the hard-top (black) made of fiberglass or some
kind of plastic? If plastic, what type? Has anybody every tried
making a mold of the hardtop and casting your own?
Thanks

Thermal setting resin, glass mat or cloth, and roving woven = (fiber glass).
I worked in a boat repair shop for several years and unless you ever had
done that type of work I would advise you not try but what do I know.
