The YJ rail that was shipped to me for my `79 CJ had a bend at each end to
conform to the radius of the top corners of the windshield frame.
It was also too long and interfered with the snap at each corner of the
top where it met the windshield frame. YJ rail had a meeting with Mr.
Hacksaw, which solved the problem.
