Default Updated hardbody XJ Cherokee & 2 Door version

I was browsing eBay and Amazon and see they've updated the way the body is made and assembled. The forward cab is the same other than the lack of roof. The sides, and roof are now separate flat pieces. it also seems to include a vacuum formed interior that looks like the old proline version.
There's also a 2 door version now.
I can see why they changed the parts the way they did, makes it easier to share some of the same mold with the 2 door and it's flatter and smaller for shipping. However the way the windshield mounts now looks awful.

There only a few on eBay and Amazon. Easy to spot.

That 2 door is fugly. Not a fan of the new style. Glad I bought 2 before they changed it up.

Unfortunately the windshield is the worst part and is on both the two-door and the new four-door

Has anybody built and painted one of these new style bodies. I like that the roof doesn't have a visible seam, but I'd like to know what can be done with the windshield surround.
