Reviews for Smittybilt 7603 SMI Windshield Hinges in Black for 76-95 Jeep CJ & Wrangler YJ

Arrived quickly
Easy to install & look great

good quality

These fit well. Installed new windshield frame (quadretec brand, great product), and first bought the Crown hinges, because hey, Crown is great for CJ's. The holes did not line up with Crown, so I bought these. While some of the holes were a smidge off, I got all the bolts in. Now, not a fan of the Allen bolts. If they can't be countersunk like the OEM, at least go with Hex bolts so they don't strip as easily. But, overall, I am happy with these SmittyBuilt hinges.

Bolted in place of the originals easily. Wish the hardware was more like the original, but using button head cap screws does give the design more tolerance to line up with the threaded holes in the body and windshield frame. Not a perfect replacement if you want 100% original appearance, but for my purposes they worked great.

Easy install

YJ buyers beware, hinges are great but the hardware doesn't fit flush and won't allow hard doors to be put back on. They fit perfect minus the bolts sticking out and preventing the doors going back on.

Fit into existing holes easy enough, but don't properly line up with OEM lower door hinge.
