Has anyone out there ever lowered there front windshield ? If so did it leak before you lowered it ? And did it leak after you put it back up. Also how long did it take from start to finish and how long did it take to put it back up?

 

Saw something on You Tube about this.Seems it did'nt take long,but not legal for street use in some states though

 

I have seen several threads on this subject.

It wasn't easy to fold and put back up.
Several leaked afterward where there was no leak before.

 

Besides all the headache associated with lowering and putting it back in place there's also some legal issues to consider because some locations forbid to drive without a windshield.

However, it would be great if Jeep made it easy again. In some trails it would be simply awesome having nothing in front. :-)

 

Pretty sure this has been covered many times, but wasn't the real reason the windshields folded were so that the 1941 jeeps could be stacked on rail cars during WW2, and its merely a coincidence that it can sometimes help navigating during some extreme off-roading?

 

Here's a photo of jeep stacking.

 

Try doing that with the plastic fenders used today! Ha. I love seeing that picture.

 

The stacking for transport, and the ability to traverse obstacles (like getting under things) but the roll bars make it irrelevant.

 

Yeah the rollbar completely defeats the purpose. I think it's a waste of money, weight and complexity to Chrysler at this point. It would be one of the few original features that I wouldnt miss.
