I had this glass cut, stamped and toughened to my templates during the Covid lock down before I had even chosen what colour I was going to paint the Willys! Could only get green the same as the windscreen, so that was fortuitous.
Problem I found was the extra weight of the large glass over the templates was too much for the universal electric windows I had fitted. So had to pony up the extra dollars for the SPW kit that runs the made in US GM electric motors. They lifted the glass no problem. Wanted these in the first place but are twice the price, now I have still bought them and the price of the first lot! I didn't use their included mounts and used thick strap and a nylon spacer for the bottom mount.
Top mount was just straight through the skin. With the bottom one angled away to follow the glass track, it left just enough room to still run the door handle rod past.
I clear coated the inside window garnish as didn't want it waxed like the body where I might rest my arm and also use window cleaner that would remove the protective wax. I did the same on the windscreen trim as well. I bent the inner weather strip up,

Rather than the factory staples, I used small rivets. I pushed them in and pulled the felt out from under the head.
Then compress the rivet in place and the felt falls back over the head to protect the glass.
Paint the head with a paint pen and it disappears from sight.
Fitted the garnish with stainless screws. I had lengthened them 4.5" and shortened the height by 2" a while ago now to suit the extra length in the doors and chop.
Not sure if the curve up at the ends show inside and out? The door lock is from the Grand Cherokee donor.
Front bottom corners follow the garnish likewise.
Looks less green once installed, but will tie in with the paint colour nicely.
