Stop by this morning and I’d say they ended up putting less than a 1/16 of filler in spots. Most to fill in a couple wrinkles they couldn’t get perfect

And besides I’m not even going to fix that dent in the windshield frame right now. They tell me it’s square

so i was cruising fb marketplace as per usual three beers deep and bought a soft-top that comes with two different colored fabric tops. I knew the guy and we have swapped jeep parts back and forth. so 400 bucks later im staring at a pile of parts and most aren't on the instruction sheet provided. so dived down the rabbit hole on soft tops well guess there is multiple option provided by bestop. so contact buddy he was like oh shit it came with a tj i bought and the guy told me it was complete. he was good and provided most of the parts I needed to complete the frame work
