do you mind showing us a bit more of the doors and the b pillar?
ooooooooooo
I'm installing mine right now. The damn door steps are going in the trash however. Those rusted out horribly on CJs.
I have an OTR windshield, so I will be doing some modifications to the kit to fit right. Initial judgement is I only need to modify the plastic pieces.
Update: I was wrong lol
Post some good pictures of your install. Roxor has just those CAD drawings, can't see crap on them. What does it use to mount across the top of the windshield? I'm wondering if it is the same plastic piece that is in the soft cab.
Seems so, but you will need most of the top kit I imagine.
It's some straight (lower case) b/d channel that has a 3/16" rip all along the bottom.
It's not together yet, but this pic is decent:
Not surprised since Roxor and OTR aren't affiliated.
Still, I'm quite excited to see what you can work since I'm running an OTR windshield too. Hopefully it won't take a ton of work.

I was wondering more what is under the front edge of the soft top on the roll bar. The Soft cab has a full plastic piece they ziptie to the windshield roll bar. Your channel is the same as the soft cab for attaching the roof tot he windshield frame I think.

I'm probably going to get the half cab with the same door that just came out once they release it in pieces. I have the roof and windshield. I was told soon. But my question is: How are the wire frame doors? Do they seal good? I'll be using it in winter in Canada. The rest I'm good with. This is what I'm using now, anything will be an improvement. Homemade wood door on the soft cab.

Answers to your questions:
Attaching a pic of the side (hopefully you get to see what you’re looking for in it).
I had to seal a few places with silicone ... but haven’t driven it in heavy rain or snow yet to know how well it seals, but I have no reason to doubt that it’ll not be adequate ... probably not like a hardtop but good enough for me.

Looks like the doors seal up nice. I'm not really driving at high speeds. Most is 40 mph or so to get out to the farm which is 4 miles, then I putt around. I hope it is realized to buy in pieces before next winter. I was taking my soft cab off and the zipper fell apart on the passenger side now. Dealer will be putting in a claim. If I have to put it back on, at least I'll have a door if the the cover it. Or I can sell the cab cheap someday, recoup some cost.

I'm having a new vented glass windshield made, actually 2 of them, but they will be identical to the OEM in frame shape, size and mounting holes, so they work without modify anything.

OTR windshield is NOT compatible with this top (OoB)
I'm gonna try and fab up a ridge plate (the main guide that runs along the top of the windshield and the top secures up front) that fixes this. I was able to get the door surrounds to work with simply drilling a hole in the plastic. The Roxor ridge plate is just not aligning where there is enough meat to make this secure.
I'd like to make something that will use the OTR holes as locating holes. On a good note, this top setup should make the whole windshield WAY more boxed in so it doesn't deflect so damn bad.
Stay tuned.

Update: I tend to get pretty uppity about this kinda thing where I want it perfect. If I lower my expectations, I can prolly cut up the OEM upper rail channel, drill some holes, and make this work ok.

I'll post a pic of my modified rail after I get it done and toss some paint on it.

I got the soft top skin and upper surrounds all mounted up. My plan worked pretty well. Well enough anyway. I elongated the holes (downward) in the windshield channel bar until it mated up with the holes on the roll bar brackets I linked above. I then drilled 3 holes matching the OEM upper locations and bolted it up.
I also used some weatherstripping to give the job more a fitted seal.
I’ll get the doors and sides done tomorrow.

Thanks for sharing!
For those where they haven’t done a soft top fresh install on a “jeep” before, set your rails up assuming the top will stretch. Us northerners have a hard time on first install but lay it up there and park it in the sun for a few hours. Even then it should be real hard to get initially. If you do this, it’ll settle in but still be nice and tight for it’s life (and last longer).

Thanks. Are those you old mirrors or the ones that come with it?
