Mine weather-seals fine, the windshield re-bolts back at a slight angle different than when Jeep painted it.

I'd never do that, but it is kinda cool looking on the 2 door. I wonder if you can take the roll cage out and stand up the windshield and attach a few screws to hold it in place. Be like a Original Willys.

Haha, yeah, this was the purpose of the exercise. We wanted to see how easily somebody off the street could figure this out and put it down. Think of it as "part instructional/part science experiment."

We spent about half a day taking the windshield down (and off) a 2016 Willy's Wrangler. Here's what the process looks like, what the Jeep's like to drive naked, how to put it all back together, and a quick leak test after the re-assembly! YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUY12zT21kY
Guess I never will.
