TJ hard top rear window replacement

[Jlow720]

Broke my hard top rear window for my 97 TJ and I’m trying to replace it without luck. The window that broke had holes on the bottom and a plastic frame that slipped onto the bottom. I’m hearing every hard top has a different window. I have no idea what 2 piece hard top I have.

I bought a PPR 12501-3202 from Quadratec but it seems like they sent me 12501-3212 because it had a bottom frame attached and was about 5 inches too wide without the bottom holes shown in the pic. It seems like the window for a 90-95 is the right size and has the holes on the bottom, but that doesn’t make sense

You have an after market top, not OEM. Not sure if that makes a difference but a pic of the window would be helpful.

The 3212 looks like the one in my 99. Yours may be different, as I said it is an after market top, but looks like mine from the back ??

I don’t have a pic of the broken window, but here is the pic of the window that did not fit and picture of the window with the holes that I believe was similar but says it’s for the YJ. I’m a little less than 47” wide and 26” tall. The YJ window has curve in the middle bottom for a handle which mine did not have on that plastic frame that slips on.

As someone else said, not OEM, methinks. That looks like a rally top. Maybe give them an email or call? The part number in this link looks to say YJ, TJ and LJ in it:

I’ll bet there’s a chance they used narrower YJ glass in their design? If so, it might have been the cheaper, more available option? Also lets them stock less parts and make 3 separate tops with the same glass…

Upside is that if that glass will work, there’s a Black Friday coupon available.

Top pic is for an 03-06. Just put a new one in my 06 yesterday. Yours is definitely an aftermarket top as someone else has mentioned.

Hi, did you ever get this resolved? I am in the same situation with an aftermarket top and the same dimensions you had for your rear glass. Thanks!
