I was thinking about something like that with velcro or snaps to roll up and keep in the rig as a temporary/emergency window if I was out and about and the weather hit.
You can get real crafty with the opening once that glass is out.. If I had an unlimited budget, I'd go to a metal shop and...
I was worried about that a bit too, but it hasn't been a problem so far. I thought about adding a bit of locktite on the bolt for added piece of mind. The gasket adds a bit of springiness and I think absorbs some of that "shake it loose" vibration. I checked it a few times in the first couple...
I came up with a hack, if you're interested.....

So, I took the plunge last season and decided to make my back glass removable.. been running it all winter without problems, so I figured I'd share, if anyone else wanted to be crazy.
Step 1: Cut out your back glass with a windshield removal tool (harbor freight).
This is a giant pain in the...
I have a '19 manual and the only notice I've received from like a year ago was that they didn't have the repair parts yet... I just checked today on the mopar site and it says the same thing. I'm seeing some folks have got the recall done on this thread... why do they only have parts available...
They'd get literally tens of sales from the vast number of 2D owners! BTW, that was sarcasm laced with sadness :(
My back seats gets regular use on both of my 2D JLs and the front seat release hasn't broken (yet), but I feel how cheap/chintzy the mechanism is - it sticks, you have to jiggle it...
I thought the factory springs on my 2dr were too soft/too much body roll on the road. These 4dr rubi springs seemed to firm the ride up a little for me, which I prefer to a swishy/disconnected feeling suspension. Like you say, it's subjective.
Those are... Gladiator wheels if I'm not mistaken. I've seen them listed as take offs on classifieds. I don't think FCA uses any gladiator rims on wranglers... So, maybe dealer shenanigans?
I feel like it's a lost cause really... at least without hefty tailgate reinforcement of some kind, in addition to relocating the spare. I think those tailgate racks are for things like sleeping bags or a duffle full of toilet paper, not gas cans and coolers... Anything heavy and you're...
This is by design. The Jeep heater burns so hot, it would fill the Jeep with dry, irritating air without the humidifying effects of some water pooling on your lap. They thought of everything, eh?
Hah.. my daughter has tried closing the door by the door opener too. If the uppers aren't on, I grab the top of the door, but with the uppers in.... Yeah I fumble around a bit to grab something.
The pull strap maybe isn't in a place that makes sense. It's down too low and too far forward I...

I believe the bolts are able to be removed and replaced if you wanted to change them out to black ones for a more authentic look.
I was interested in this myself; I priced it out to $1600 for the Mopar tan top and MasterTop tan windows (just the fabric parts) on Quadratec. I don't know how exact the Mopar and MasterTop fabrics are, but I'll bet they are the same. You'd still need donor hardware from another top if you...
Here's a video of someone pulling the suntop off and putting it back on; it's a JK, but I think it's largely the same for the JL version:
The back windows look like a pretty big hassle, but they do roll/fold into a much smaller footprint than the OEM windows. The top part rolls forward so...
I got an el-cheap-o knock-off style one off of Amazon a while ago... It was pretty effortless from what I remember.
Here's a video that shows all the steps (should be the same for all brands of fuel doors):
Yeah, probably a bracket that spans between the current back seat mount points with a couple of extra slots or d-rings in the middle for the inside of the seats. It may not be perfectly flat with one seat removed, but it would still work.
