Default HELP! Rotopax rear side window setup

Hey y'all,

I'm new here obviously and come to you seeking help. I searched high and low with no luck, so here goes nothing.

I was wondering if someone could hook me up with the measurements for the rear side window holes for a 2016 freedom top on a 2 door model. If possible, both dimension sets would be amazing (the actual window and then the window hole that the window sits on [the flange on the actual top itself]).

I'm currently deployed and sometimes when we have down time I can get over to the fab shop and mess around. I figured instead of spending over $1,000 to buy the Rebel Offroad setup, (nothing against them, they have fantastic products!) I could just make my own with a set of dimensions. Also looking into the possibility of fitting the 4 gallon (stretcher looking tank) if possible with little to no trimming of the top's window flange.

I obviously don't have my JK here to measure it for myself, otherwise I'd have no problem, but any help would be greatly appreciated!

Just having the length and height probably won't be what you need because the window opening isn't rectangular - the sides are slightly curved and the front and back vertical edges are at different angles. Also the window mounting surface isn't flat, it's curved in both directions (a JK hardtop window isn't a flat piece of glass), so a simple flat plate be difficult to fit properly.

Would anybody be up to tracing their window for me out of cardboard and sending it to my APO address?
