    Im looking for the best maker of windshield frames, Crown, MD Juan, (Omix-Ada, if they are anything like most of their parts, no thanks), or is their another company that makes them? I’m looking for the level of quality in a classic industries panel, 16-18 gauge. Unfortunately they don’t make one.

    If you don't care about originality would a later CJ or Wrangler frame work?

    I see the hinges are the same from '76 to '95. I don't know if the frame width is the same, or if something else would prevent it from working on an Intermediate.
    I'll probably be looking for a frame for my '74 next year.

    Later CJ or Wrangler changes the shape and tilt-back of the windshield. It can be done with some cutting and drilling but then your top won't fit.

    It's been covered ad nauseum in earlier posts - search if you are interested.

    Was just hoping there would have been some new mfg out there that I didn’t know existed.
