After being all excited about my build getting started Ive been stuck in JB status for a week now, and im thinking its probably the Mopar Headliner... For you guys that have been built or have taken delivery, did you also wait in JB. Any of you have a headliner?

I'm in JB informal hold also - I suspect for HT headliner..

I was hoping to get two delivered and work a better deal for one of them.
Didn't you already agree on a price with the dealer(s) at the time you placed the order(s)?

Hey Larry!

Thanks so much for posting this. Unfortunately for me, mine has been a 1-sold order since 12/7/17 so I am still baffled. But it helps to know yet another PST order placed well after mine is already scheduled. Still in D....162 days and counting.
12/15, and still in D1, or should I say, back in D1

Yes, but in both cases there was discussion around 'if new discounts are available when I take delivery, I can use those'. In both cases, the deposit is fully refundable, so I figured I might have some leverage for a little better deal. I didn't know these would become such a hot commodity...

Hang in there. I'm sure yours will migrate south soon. Your build is really close to mine and it doesn't look like you have any of the delayed options. Edited: I just saw that you are D status still. :crying: Sending best wishes your way!

In the mean time, keep an eye out for a unicorn sighting. I am right in your neck of the woods!
I will keep an eye out! Won't be too hard to spot either! So don't be surprised if someone stops you in a parking lot, calls out, "Hey Jumpchick!" And wants to pet your unicorn! It'll probably be me! Lol!

I thought that for while also, there are floor mats in transit on some orders I found.

For those of you who believe your order should be being built now but is being skipped, I may have something for you to check.

I placed an order early March at a close-by dealership. They converted a previous stock order to my order information and updated the Scheduling Priority, etc.. After reading this forum, I knew to ask for a current POC/VIN. I finally got it later near the end of March. Order date was January, but the Scheduling Priority was "2-Fastest Moving Vehicle Order". I questioned this immediately with the Sales Manager and he told me that this was correct, that this will get it built as soon as possible. As of today, this POC/VIN is still in D and the dealership still maintains there is nothing they can do to speed up the order.

The above did not seem correct to me at the time, so I went to another dealership and placed another 'exactly the same' order in late March. I was hoping to get two delivered and work a better deal for one of them. The POC immediately had a Scheduling Priority of "1-Sold Order". This 2nd order went D1 on 5/6, and is scheduled to build on 5/29 (I have PST). Of course it is not built yet, so who knows what will happen; but this 2nd order was placed almost 3 weeks after I ordered with the 1st dealership and the 1st order kept its original order date of January.

So, get a printed copy of the POC and check that the Scheduling Priority is "1-Sold Order"...

I hope this helps!
Mine says, "Scheduling Priority: 1-Sold Order; Build Priority: 01" but still in D and ordered Feb. 1.
