Chop top?
Looking at possibly chopping the back of my 2dr XJ. Was hoping someone could give my some ideas on how to do it. Im wanting to remove the back seat as well.

I'll take the cover off tomorrow and post pics of how it was cut. The cage attaches to the halo right above the door trim, then again at the floor just behind the driver and passenger seat, and behind the rear seats, whoever did it pretty much cut on the inside of the outer row of roof ribs and forward to the start of the two layer roof, leaving about 6" behind the windshield and 5" on either side. Cut off everything behind the rear door b pillar and fiberglassed some fancy PVC tubes down at a 45 for visual. But I'll take close up pics tomorrow for ya

It's totally custom, it seals like factory in the front but leaks a little where it wraps around the down tubes and around the hatch area, you would never know it was any different from stock when driving in the cold weather or rain
