Blazer hard top install question
Hi,
While working on the Princess's Jeep I found that they have a measurement they set the windshield at for the hardtop and softtops. If anyone has a near perfect stock Blazer that they regularly remove the top on, could you pull a measurement for me? Simply the measurement from some straight edge on the top of each corner to the back inside edge of the rear qtr panel. I know that the Jeep Windshield is hinged, and ours is not, but I think that over the past 38 years it may have sagged a bit. I'd rather adjust it ahead of time then try to force it up with the top. Thanks! Frank

Re: Blazer hard top install question
Frank, I've done the measuring you are attempting to do. What happens is the first time you drive it with the top off, that measurement will change as the body sags a bit. Depending on how good the rubber mounts are---even a perfect metal tub will sag a bit. You can adjust the windshield angle a bit via the fender mounts-rad support-etc. Best jig for setting up your windshield frame is using the factory hardtop. A nice fit to the windshield frame and the doors will be your best setup. Huck
