Quarter Window Retainer- L&R

[5thJeep]

Question:
Replacing the clear factory Left, RIght, and Rear windows with Bestop Tinted versions. (It's crazy how clear they are until scratched and cloudy)

Have ordered the composite left and right window retainer pieces at the corners and I guess will have to purchase a Bestop tailgate bar.
Prefer to leave the stock windows as is in storage and obtain new Torx screws to secure the new window panels.
Each corner retainer piece has 5 screws and I would imagine the tailgate bar has similar attachment points.

Has anyone done this and what are the correct part number(s) for the screws?

Thanks

To be sure I’m understanding you correctly, you’re replacing the clear vinyl windows for an OEM soft top, with a tinted, hard, composite window from Bestop? Or is it also a vinyl window?

If it helps at all, Bestop manufacturers the OEM Jeep tops, but there are small variances in the design/functionality, particularly with how you fully retract the top. Other hardware may be identical, or similar enough to make it work.

Also, do you have pictures of the parts you’ve mentioned, or a links to the parts you’ve purchased? It might help others to chime in as well.

Thanks for the response:
Replacing factory clear soft top windows with tinted soft top windows from Bestop.
I contacted Bestop and they said to "re-use" the retainer hardware for the corners,
however the tailgate bar is different.
The panels themselves have 5 holes that appear as those a notebook paper hole punch was used and these align with the spacing of the threaded sockets on the retainer pieces.
They are attached with Torx screws, 5 each side.
Retainer pieces are Mopar # 68399019AA and #68399020AA.
