I purchased a set and some hardware as well. For my TJ.
Did you have to modify your knuckles?

This appears to be a slow moving thread.
Now on my third windscreen, and with La Nina hanging around, I thought I would finally put an end to the wind noise that I have endured since losing my original factory windscreen in 1999.
Also, the current windscreen was installed early last year reusing the original rubber seal so this inevitably led to leaks (near the headliner). I decided not to go back to the windscreen experts that installed it. Instead, I asked my trusted local mechanic to get someone to fix it.
A new rubber seal was installed today solving the problem of wind noise and leaks. This 26 year old car is now waterproof again, and it looks and sounds even newer.
Having just tended to this long standing problem, I reckon the La Nina will probably pack up and disappear.

Yeh, have similar wind noise problems from the seal around the windscreen. A bit of duct tape fixed it - Matching the paint colour of course!
If you don't have any water leaks now, you're not doing enough offroad driving 🤣

I obtained a NOS front seal, its vital to fix any windscreen leaks cause it rusts out the lip over time, which is un-fun to repair.
Also did the rear screen, from a wrecker,
a stone got thrown up while I was whipper-snippering, and it got shattered, used the old seal, easy job
