Hi SalmanillaWeekender, I had a similar situation... If the dealer takes the Hard Top off of a Dual-top JLU, they often will leave (on the donor Jeep) a couple parts that are needed to go on to the New Jeep (yours). Fortunately, the dealer where I got my hardtop was kind enough to assist me with install... I had no idea that these parts were needed... right up to the point where they were going to show me how easy it is to put-on the Freedom Panels... that is when they realized that there was an issue... One of the techs appeared with another kit that had ALL the Bits and Bobs required... Had to remove the over-head panel (where the sun visors are) and add 2 plates... as well as lower the cover on the Sound Bar (2 more plates)... none of that was any issue at all - Jeep loves those panel clips! But there was more to it than the on-line videos suggest. Unless you already are set-up for Dual Tops.
The entire process took 30 minutes.
It helps to have a reliable dealership. The guys at Leith Cary Jeep were really good. (www.autoparkchryslerjeep.com). I went ahead and ordered the kit to add Wiper control and rear defogger/defroster parts.
I hope this helps. In hindsight, I should have taken pictures. Sorry.

Thank you for the responce. Greatly appreciated! I am very good with my hands and would love to install it myself (I don't like other people touching my vehicles) also they said the labor will be completely free of charge since they didn't know about the parts either. (I'm thinking now my car is the test vehicle ) I'm sure they will will do a good job. And thank you again!
