    i have a 72 cj5 that i bought a alum top for, i have the top and doors and rear hatch i also have 2 flat parts that sort of match the angle of windshield but they are long and stick a little above windshield. installing a hardtop is not as simple as i thought on a cj5, does anyone know where i can find installation instructions ? i have tried a search on here but came up no results, thank you for helping

    Aluminum top? What brand? Pretty sure no one was making aluminum tops as late as 1972. Can you post pictures and point out the issues that you have?

    Here are some Jeep tops that you can compare to. http://cj3b.info/Hardtop.html In 1972, pretty much the whole top market was served by Meyer, which only made steel tops. Koenig and Kelly may have still been in business.

    Do you have a camera? Post pictures. There were many different makers of Jeep tops.
