Windshield frame

It’s easy for someone like Jersey to talk out of their ass when they know nothing of what they speak. I would advise trying one and forming your own opinion. They’re better than anything on the market and will get better as the Jeep program is developed.
 
Did a quick search, and the new and improved windshield did not come up on any site for sale. I did not find it on their own site, so it is kinda hard to try it out for our self when they are not widely available.

They might be better than anything else on the market, but that is not saying much when the best on the market is well....

In my opinion, I haven't read much of anything "so wrong" as this comment on here in a long time. In my opinion Jersey is one of the most knowledgeable people on this site. Unfortunately he hasn't been on here much lately. Comments like that are more along the lines of what you might see on Pirate 4x4 not on this site.
 
To my knowledge I got one of the first units, if not the first unit they ever sold. Again, thats to the best of my knowledge. They haven't even taken pictures to post on their website yet. Im not sure how other people have experience with these frames, since I believe they just came out. I think they did a test run and gave them to some people to try , maybe those are the ones people are talking bad about. I'll document my experience when I test fit it next week. Im really hoping this proves to be a decent product.

Bubuxio, here is the chatter referenced above, although it may not view for most people. The guy who posted supplied an OEM frame to KP and to his shock (if you can read it) it was wrong in so many ways, side by side picture comparisons, tape measure photos, all there. This was Dec 31 2018, less than 2 months ago. I am hearing it could take a year or so to make the major changes that these need. Make sure you test fit the hardtop if you have one, wiper linkage, and cowl seal before paint. Basically assemble the whole thing. And then hope the windshield fits when you are done. :oops:

Thanks Jersey.
 
It is a closed Facebook Group. You would have to request to be added to the group to view the messages I believe.
 
I am the one who sent key parts the original windshield frame to use as a template. If any of you are not familiar with me I have been playing with Jeeps since the eighties . It is a shame we don’t have more companies taking an interest in helping with the reproduction of some really hard to find parts such as flat front windshield frames . With that said hats off to John from key parts . Tim Farley and myself have been working with John for a year or two on many parts but we do not have anything to do with the actual manufacturing. The truth is the first couple do need some work and are not correct but knowing the tenacity of John from key I believe he will get it right . I spoke with John a couple weeks ago and he was pretty upset they were not exact as well because we provided them with original examples . To me it looked like maybe they used one of their existing frames and made some changes..I’m sure John will straighten this out before they do their large run of them. This is out of our hands and I will keep everyone updated as I hear back from John
 
Well I for one am sorry if it looked like I was beating up on him....that's the last thing I want to do. It's amazing that any small company can survive and thrive these days. We need people like him to make this country an industrial country again. Hopefully he can figure this out.
 
Also has anyone used any of these that are shown for the raffle for the National Scramble ? C2701130-E545-47E4-AB89-3A172181DD93.png6FA267C6-F96C-44F9-9CDD-D404BF68C1F3.png1BCA61C5-F6E5-45D7-931E-520055F1204F.png
