    Does anyone know what size the glass is on the CJ2A windshield, I look mine to the glass shop and had them use my old glass as a template. When I picked it up they had thrown the old glass away as it was broke. Now I am installing the glass in the frame and it seems way to small.
    The parts list doesn't list a size. Walcks lists a seal kit but I had planed to just run a bead of silicone around it before installing in the frame. My glass is 12 1/2" by 22 5/8". It appears 1/2" to small all around . Any ideas ?

    I would take the glass back to the shop along with your inner WS frame and ask them to re-do it so it fits. Since they threw away your old glass they can't say for sure that they cut it to the correct size...

    I definately considered that, I guess I wanted to know they messed up before I asked them to eat the glass.

    do you have the felt that goes between the glass and frame? that may explain the diff, would still take glass and frame to them,and tell them if you messed up make it right,and if they didnt mess up they should be able to make it right, i took my frame and all to the glass shop,better them screw up than me :beer:

    Well I called Carl @Walck's today and asked If he knew what size the glass was and guess what he said, " I don't know I just take the frame to the glass shop and let them cut it to fit ".
    So I ordered a seal kit and will end up taking it to the glass shop for them to install . I just assumed it was something more I could do myself.
