I'm working on the prototype retrofit kit for slider windows/cargo hatches on the 2dr factory hardtops. Here's a look at the work in progress; this one's for a "no trim" cargo hatch, meaning the window opening doesn't have to be trimmed to install this. With trimming, the hatch could be made a bit larger.

Really great features for the safety and comfort of our Canine Pals . The fact that the hardtop can now offer 4 Season utility is fantastic.
The hard Safari top for kayaks and gear, open air for dogs, then enclosed and secure for cold ice snow is entirely in keepng with the tŕue nature and use of Jeeps .
Thank you !

That is so awesome! I've been wanting to do something like that to my 4dr hardtop.

Thanks. If you're asking about the cargo hatches, they're not available (yet), they're part of a design project I'm doing for a Jeep accessories company. I'm doing a bunch of hardtop window replacement kits for them, the first one that should become available is a slider window kit for the late model JKU. Second will probably be a slider window kit for the late model JK 2 door. At this point I don't know if they'll decide to produce the cargo hatch kits, it depends on if they think there will be enough demand for them to make it worthwhile to produce them.

Yes I was and thank you.. I really hope they get produced.

Update on the JK Safari Cab project: I've been waiting for the glass to be cut and tempered, and it was supposed to be available over 2 weeks ago but a few delays came up with the tempering process. It hasn't been urgent since for the last two weeks I've been in Colorado enjoying some trail time.

I was told today that the glass is more-or-less ready and I can pick it up Monday morning. I say more-or-less because one of the vent windows broke in the tempering process and had to be remade. So Monday I'll pick up 6 of the 7 pieces of glass, hopefully the replacement vent window will be in later in the week. This won't delay the installation of the Safari Cab on the Jeep though, because the vent windows are based on Toyota FJ-40 vent windows and I've got some original FJ glass on hand. It's clear and my new glass is tinted, but I can install everything with the one clear vent and swap it in minutes when I get the tinted one.
