The Convertible Jeep

The Convertible Jeep Mechanism simplifies the conversion from the soft-top to the convertible of a jeep. Jeeps require manual removal of the rear side windows in order to remove the top. With the Convertible Jeep Mechanism, you can convert from the convertible to the covered position with the touch of a button. This device was created by students Jennifer Brace, Brian Peterson and Chris Gatti in fall 2002, instructors: Professor Sridhar Kota and Teaching Assistant Charles Kim.
