If true that's smart design. Handles serve both as Oh-Shit bars and handles to help operate the windshield folding.That windshield looks like it's primed to be easily folded or removed! Huge grab handles attached to the inside of windshield frame (for ease of lowering?) and if I'm seeing it correctly the rear view mirrors are mounted to ceiling.
keeping the fold down windshield likely enhances the open air feel when doors are removed and roof panels are taken out, enough to please the crowd who is skeptical of the new roof structure.@Cal_JLU I was informed of this while visiting the AllPar forums..
Look close right below the wiper blades & in front of the antenna..
Noticed it too. Probably another design element for better aerodynamics and MPG.Man that hood has significant slope on the front end.
I know one single local owner that's folded down his windshield and even then it was just for fun and to have said he did it before. Fact is most of us just want it for nostalgia and to say/think that our Wranglers can do it. But hey if Jeep has made it MUCH easier to fold down the windshield on the JL I bet we'll see lots more owners doing it, maybe even including myself.I'm glad to see the folding windshield might be staying. I've never used mine but don't want to see the JL become any less useful or lose the special unique features that make up the sum of what a Wrangler is.
I agree. To me this hopefully signals that they are keeping all the key features that make a wrangler a wrangler like removable doors, soft top, removable hard top with 'roll bar' look (I hope) and not jeep liberty flex top look.I'm glad to see the folding windshield might be staying.

It seems like it would be very helpful on a safari / hunting trip, where one could fire from the drivers seat then chase down the prey immediately with the vehicle if the shot wasn't K5.I know one single local owner that's folded down his windshield and even then it was just for fun and to have said he did it before.
