If it's from a WJ, then some git cut the roof of a poor bastard's Grand Cherokee with an angle grinder
and flogged it to you. Like Peter says, probably meant YJ.

We need to dig out an identification chart as it can be confusing at first.

it will fit - ive done it. you just have to remove the metal strip above the windshield and put a wider strip in. as for the gaps where the door, windshield and hardtop meet....... get creative. thats the only flaw. but it will fit
