Hello there, unicorn Jeeples!! :)

I had the hard top trim piece rattle as well & slapped that baby back in place as soon as someone told me what it was last weekend! The command strips are a good idea for a fix! :like: I haven’t played with it yet to see what else may work.

What I have purchased most recently is the cheapest & one of my favorite mods. As someone who is overly annoyed by rattles & the like, the flapping rear seat belts had me losing my mind while driving topless this past weekend!

Ladies & gents, I present to you my $5.66 mod....

A roll of Velcro from Michael’s!!!:clap: The perfect solution! Holds down both straps when not in use, will hold down the bottom strap when in use, reusable & durable, plenty left over for future uses. :idea::rock::giggle:

Nice! I employed the same exact solution, except I chose red velcro to go with the red accents in my Rubi. It really works very well. No more annoying flap! http://a.co/4GzUNRs

It’s not their fault, but honestly it’s hard to see that posted here. I look at cryptostickers and still see Jan/Feb orders with half stickers still. Really shameful for FCA. I’m embarrassed to say my March order is almost here when I know others still waiting.
I just want to thank Clif and everyone who got their Jeeps for continuing to encourage and keep in touch. It means SO much, I hope y’all realize it. A heartfelt thank you!!!
Thank you. I wish I could do more than just support. The first builds and waits were
terrible feelings. And I say again you long waiters are doing much better than I could.
I would have bet money by July there would be no more Dec and Jan orders waiting.
And people getting 30 to 50 day orders you are very lucky and be happy. The long
wait I do not wish on anyone. Jeep has really let people down. I always said "Don't
blame your Dealer" but now is the time your Dealer steps up and gets your Wrangler !!

Didn't like the soft top bouncing around when it was down so I ended up using some flat bungee cords to hold it in place. Seems to be working good so far.

On a Side note I am loving this new soft top, so much easier to take off and on than my previous Jeeps.

I’ve been missing in action because my mom has been in the hospital. She had a heart attack today. I am so behind on the posts. But I came home today and this was in the mail! It made me smile today!

I definitely blame FCA , but unfortunately they have us over a barrel. No other auto manufacturer makes a vehicle similar to a wrangler. If you want a fully convertible off road vehicle you only have one choice right now. I hope someone comes along and gives jeep some competition. It would be better for us jeep enthusiasts , force jeep to make better vehicle with better tech. at better prices.

That is why I went with the rubber twist ties, tried Velcro first and was afraid it would scratch the paint it if moved around when driving.

The stuff I linked from amazon is super soft. Will not damage paint (and doesn’t move around, anyway).
