Bought a 73 Thing with no convertible frame nor top. Did come with a factory 5 point roll bar though. Trying to get some ideas in regards to a bikini top. Thanks for the help!

This is what I had made about six years ago. It´s held up really well. Sucks in the rain though Sad

how is that held onto the front windshield? Screws?

I'm wondering if i had someone sew in a super strong earth magnet would it be strong enough? I don't want to drill/screw into the front windshield frame since mine is mint

I don’t have roll bars, but do have a good convertible top frame. Has anyone used the convertible frame to mount a bikini top.

Bought one of these for my Thing that had no top frame. Came with everything needed to install it, including the windshield stiffener bars.
