the bottom of my windshield frame is badly rusted, especially where my wiper motor mounts. Basically my wiper motor is just lying there. Was hoping someone could give me some info on where to find a replacement windsheild frame, or a way to patch it up. thanks!

I had the same problem with the frame on my 93 YJ. Last year I bought a brand new windshield frame for $300. Canadian from a local shop that deals strictly with jeeps. I know that they had windshield frames for CJ's as well so you can order them. The frame came unpainted so you'll either have to get it painted or do it yourself. After my frame was painted, I sprayed the inside with some stuff that prevents rust. It comes out of the can oily (sort of smells like WD-40) and has a straw so you can put it in the holes and coat the whole inside of the frame. When I dig up the can I'll let you know what it's called if your interested.[addsig]
