It looks cool. I love the angle. Somebody bent the windshield frame clamp bracket on purpose or by accicent. Either way I love the Italian Sports Car look.. I wish I could park my Things under tarps and indoors and I would love a windshield angle like that.. Not stock...

You can bend the windshield body retainer brackets on the front dash and make that windshield angle. I do like it.. Very sporty..

Back in my Jeep I had no top for years, as long as you keep moving you stay pretty dry. It's those stop lights that get you so wet. Rolling Eyes

Perhaps that one poster that had the problem of his top being 2 inches too short could perform this modification (windshield) to correct his problem!

But then the side curtains would need to be modified.

Not a fan of the raked look, personally.

I would say thats from too many people over the years grabbing onto the windshield frame when they get in and out of the car. Good luck getting a top and windows on that car.
