Repair Sections
« on: March 30, 2014, 09:18:25 PM »

Was gonna post this question on the IFSJA forums,  but TBH I've sorta got a problem with their attitude.
All I want to know is if anyone has ever produced a repair panel for the front  edge of a Wagoneer roof.
It would make my life much easier if someone had.
There's now a 2" gap between the screen and what remains of the roof panel on my black Cherokee 4 door.
I was going to strip it and weigh it, but now I'm thinking this is not the way to go.

Probably right.
Pretty stupid really as that is one of the most common areas to rot out.
Other suggestions I've had have been to cut out a section from another vehicle and match it as best as I can.
Not so easy now as modern cars all have bonded glass and the roof profile is all wrong.
On the positive side,  the roof is usually the last thing to rot out on old cars and vans.
FSJs seem to be weirdly unique.

Cheers

That's certainly worth me chasing up.
I assume that those are genuine AMC/Jeep part numbers?
The early J trucks had a quirky looking reverse slant "peak' just above the screen.
Later on the roofline was lowered to the same profile as the Wagoneer type roof.
