    What year CJ-5? Which windshield do you have? There 6 different ones I'm aware of during the run of the CJ-5.
    I've found local glass shops usually work well.

    Its a sept 1970 cj5 renegade I .So i dont know if there is any thing special about it?

    I was hoping you guys would LOL :), because I have no clue.

    I will check local shops , probable safer on the glass then having it shipped.

    Anything of interest that I should tell them? to make sure I get the right one?

    Pull the windshield off, carry it over and leave it with them for a couple of days. Estimate to replace the glass on my vented windshield including labor was less than $100 IIRC...

    But my woodshop did a lot of business with them over the years.......

    So it has bottom mount wipers with the motor on the outside and arched-top glass? That should be the same glass from '69-'75 if so.
    I'm moving this to Early CJ tech for better exposure.

    Yep. The earlier glass is clearly rectangular, with room for the top mounted wipers above the glass.

    Mine was cut from a sheet of thick plexi-glass. Was on the JEEP when I got it back in 2006.
