The
entire windshield and frame assembly may be
lowered down on top of the hood.
This
is accom­ plished by unlatching the retaining catches mount­
ed on the cowl
above
the instrument panel. When lowered do not
fail
to strap it down with the strap provided which is mounted at the top of the

radiator
guard.

A
stationary
type
windshield is used on all vehicles
equipped with
soft
or canvas
tops.
A hinged ven­ tilator mounted in the center of the panel directly
under the
glass
is provided for ventilation. The

glass
is installed in the same manner as on Models
CJ-5,
and
CJ-6.

Vehicles equipped with metal enclosure employ a
stationary windshield which is the same as that used with the canvas top
except
that it has a higher

silhouette
and is wider.
Glass
installation is the same as
CJ-5,
