Default Windshield Help

This is my first post I think? I have been trying to find somewhere that I can get windshield hinges for my 2010/JK. I have not touched the current brackets with a wrench yet and have never seen a JK with the windshield folded down yet. They do fold don't they? Please help, I know of a couple more people that have looked also with no luck!
My HEEP is still pretty much stock so far but that will change once the weather isn't -30c. If I can figure out how to put a picture or two up I will?
Thanks for the help

Yes, you can fold it down. There is a section in the owners manual that has instructions. However, it breaks some paint when you do it at the hinges and screws and it's not legal for on-road use. I wouldn't recommend it.

Oh yeah, and welcome to the forum!

Yes, they do fold down. You do not need to purchase anything. Just get a wrench and go to town. The directions are in the owners manual

and it's not legal for on-road use
In my state, the legal issue is not with the windshield. The issue is using eye protection.
