Replace 2003 - 2006 windshield frame with '97- 2002?

[Todd M]

My 2003 windshield frame rusted through the bottom and I'm looking for a replacement. I can get an excellent deal on a 2002 frame and was wondering if it will mount up with the roll cage bolt pattern? I realize the trim will be different as well as the sun visors. But I'm just wondering if it will bolt up correctly ?

Thanks!!

It'll bolt up fine, just the plastic trim pieces won't work. Most people in my area try and get the older frames as they seem to last much longer than the 03+

Thanks for the info.
Not sure if I will sacrifice the trim pieces but this seem to be one of those parts that are quite hard to find.
