Windshield fold down

[JWjeepSask]

I'm pretty sure this was asked already here but are there any tips for folding down your windshield? I know you have to remove the rollcage bolts and the one on either side hinge but is there anything else I should be aware of before attempting? I should add my windshield has never been down before

Be prepared for your windshield to leak forever after. It doesn't always happen, but it happens often enough to be unremarkable.

Heat them bad boys up, bust'm loose and fold that windshield down! Get some Steam Punk googles a drive around.

After folding the windshield once you will realize it is only fun if you stay under 10mph.
Best reference, read the manual. But it is not rocket science.

I fold mine down all the time, never had a problem.

Use a velcro strap to tie the hoop on the windshield to the hoop on your hood (that's why it's there). It stops your windshield from bouncing around.

If you plan to offroad with the windshield down, you'll want to get additional roll bars so you don't make your head into a mound of red goo if you flip. I bought the Rock Hard bolt-on roll cage specifically for that reason.

That's the #1 reason why I haven't folded my windshield down.

That's actually really awesome looking! And still works 100% with my hardtop and bestop soft top? Doors will still fit to?

Love every minute of it

I drive my buddies old Jeep that way and it's a blast. But anything over about 30 mph the fun factor fades quickly.

Windshield wiper arms have to come off. Really easy. It's like riding a square motorcycle with crummy mileage. But, at least you still catch the bugs between your teeth, and that's a win. I plan to do it on known mild trails just for the fun and freedom feel of it.

Does anyone have the part number for the seal that breaks when the windshield folds down?

You shouldn't have to break a seal to fold the windshield down.

I don't break any sort of seal when I lay my windshield down and I lay it down all the time.

Where do I get the strap to hold it to the hood?

Alright damnit, where’s the build thread for that trailer and tent setup?

When the jeep was new it came in the owners manual canvas bag

Welcome

Back in the day, it was attached to the footman loop on the windshield. Similar to the door straps.
A double sided velcro strap will work.

I don't have one.
