I got an email that my preordered one shipped.

Has anyone else who preordered one received theirs?

Mine arrives tomorrow!

...and mine Wednesday.

One of the reasons I ask, fellow Russ, is I am curious to know how GPCA deals with the fact that the tub screw points for the hardtop, on either side of the tub, closest to the back seats, appear somewhat more distanced from the back seats than in the JK.

The area forward of those attachment points, otherwise behind the back seats, I worry, (and I may be wrong) may be prone to sagging barring the use of more rigid materials used in this section by the manufacturer, as part of the design, or maybe straps that attach around the rear seat's head rests.

We'll see....

Pictures when you get them installed please

 

[RussJeep1]

Mine arrived in the mail yesterday, earlier than scheduled.

I'll try to get out pictures, but in the meantime please know that the device is well constructed but has a limitation for soft top users: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/gpca-jl-cargo-cover-concerns.12353/

In short, the device expects to use the holes in the tub rim otherwise designed to hold down the hard top, that include the holes roughly 30" forward of the rig's rear, which the "dog leg" hardware of the soft top, we can see Rob of Quadratec covering here:

In the aforementioned link to this issue I cover (no pun) what I think is a plausible work around.​

Received mine a couple hours ago, installed it, and then immediately took it off and asked for a refund. I find that it wants to float above the roll bar bases, leaving a huge gap that one could use to see directly into the cargo compartment. I simply can't get it fitted properly. Maybe I'm just an idiot with no patience. They did reply with a video link providing fitment tips, so I tried again one last time, and had absolutely no additional luck. E-mailed back again confirming this and asking how to proceed w/ the return. Sigh.

Anybody manage to get theirs fitted as in the ad pictures?

Also sir, while I don't work with for GPCA, is it possible that the straps on the cover, which attach to the Tub Lip: which have dual purpose: to both tighten down the cover, AND center it in the middle (driver's to passenger's side that is) were too skewed to one side?

I didn't not experience your problem. Do also make sure you're attaching to the bolt holes that are roughly 30" from the rear of the rig; otherwise blocked (but easily unblocked) from access by soft top "dog leg" mounts consistent with above posts. If you're a hard top owner, you can ignore this latter issue. These bolt holes are NOT blocked by the hard top.

Thanks for the tips. I do have a hardtop, so the latter wouldn't apply to me. I did try making everything as "even" as possible, constantly switching back and forth between sides to tighten up while keeping it centered. I went in the order they recommended while doing so, and it still just wouldn't sit right. They did end up sending me a prepaid return shipping label, which I'm thankful for. I was thinking I'd have to send it back on my dime (which I still would have done rather than keeping the cover).

Noted with respect.

I know I am replying to an old thread, but I have one that I didn’t put on immediately and is is terrible as you described. Unfortunately, now I can’t return it. Simple idea, should have been simple to make, but this just doesn’t fit right and is floppy. I can’t imagine driving with the top down and this on.

I cannot imagine any soft top not ripping going down the road at 60 70 miles an hour. Most people have to have a hard top back there. I don't think there's a soft top out there that won't tear.after thinking about it I canceled the lite one I ordered earlier I cancelled it just sags too much
