So I was hunting the other day, and coming down a hill to a cross road managed to end up sliding, then spinning about 40 yards culminating at a stop right at the edge of the road. Let my clutch out to drive out and rolled my YJ on its right side... The bank gave
out from under me and dropped the right rear when I was already in a high right lean tricycle.
Note : What a crappy way to roll ,,, no drama, and it took at least 45 seconds to do it... Don't even have a good story.
So the whole right side of my jeep ended up with some small dents and ripples and my hard top got the right side window broke out and a nice set of cracks in the roof. Any body ever repaired one of these? it does not look special, no worse than a fiberglass race fender on a car.
I'm planning on a side armor kit to cover the rear damage up, and maybe some tube fenders in the front if the budget stands up :)
Any tips on locating a new right side window? For less than 200 bucks. ?? Otherwise I may see a soft top in the future....
If someone has a right side white door for cheap let me know, mine is going to need work. :(
Cheers,
Dave

It's not hard to patch a crack. Groove and fill with epoxy... If they're fine crack you could spread them and use CA.
Window? ebay, craigslist or glass shop. For the door, just fix it. Parts are available for most things.
-
The door got kinked top to bottom when the folding mirror didn't, mirror survived but the door shell is bent, still useable, I havn't fiddled with it yet. I may be able to suck it straight then cover with ALuminum or something...
The top looks pretty easy, it only broke the outer layer, so I'm planning on a try at exactly what you suggested....
Cheers

I have a side window but can't remember from what side are they not the same? I can check it though.
shipping might kill the price though

what do you think the size and weight is? lol I don't feel like digging it out of my attic unless it's worth sending.
-
Hmm. Its about 32x32 inches, must weigh in the 30 lb range I'd imagine...
I've never held it out of the jeep... Except in itty bitty pieces... :brick:

NAFTA - there's no duty
you might have to pay local tax and brokerage fees, check with the carrier as there is a limit (like under $25 or so declared value) at which not brokerage fees are applied
-
just look for a used hard top locally is what I would do then repairing your old one.. you could prob pick up one for 1-200$ for the hole top

Since you are in Oregon check B&R Wrecking they have 3 in stock for $89. I just checked their web site. Also if you go to their web site they have an option to make and offer I normally drop the price $15-$20 and have been accepted each and every time. That is for the side glass. Did not check the price of their hard tops.

Thanks, I did not think of them, I live a mile or so from them... :)

They have salvage yards all thru the state. If the part is in one place not near you they will ship it to the closest place to you for free.
