Side Curtains

Post by gpa5294 » Thu Jan 22, 2009 3:36 am

Can someone post or send me pics of the side curtains? I am trying set up my windshield and cannot find a clear view of how they attach. I know there are 4 studs on the windshield and 2 snaps on the cowl, but how does the catch to rear of the cowl come in to play? Thanks, John

The formed wire hook catches on a receiver mounted on the body that looks like the hook/hold down receiver on the hood on a conventional Jeep. The receiver is not in view in the above photo. David

A picture is worth a thousand words. Thanks, David. I had visualized how it all fit together pretty close, but you have cleared it up. Thanks again, John

I've never seen a carbine put in the rack like that.... I put mine in upside down, which is what I believe is the "correct" way. Anyone?

Didn't notice when I first looked at the pics of the side curtains, but they are different. What is the one on the left with all the snaps? Were there 2 different styles? John
