Well in fairness, was there booze in your trunk? PSA: keep your booze in the house where you can enjoy it!
Your plexiglass idea may actually be the quickest/easiest option, and it could seal up against the existing weather stripping. Iāll hit you up for those hinges if I decide to try that out...
Thatās a part of why Iād like to be able to remove it entirely so Iām not putting strain on the struts or just driving with it sticking up.
Desired outcome is I can store the glass in safely all summer and use a āsoft topā window that can be easily removed and rolled up when weather permits...
Also, the side windows do come out for the SOT, right? So Jeep is already part way there! I did see in another forum that they have a design for a modular hard top on the Gladiator but who knows if/when that would go into production. Also donāt want to pay several thousand for a whole new top...
Exactly! Iām surprised it doesnāt already exist. Seems it would be very similar mounting system to the soft top, but a kit to fit the hard top dimensions? I understand the CO/safety concern from the factories but put a warning label on it like anything else to deny liability. Plus, no exhaust...
Has anyone removed the rear glass from their OEM hard top?
If so, what did you do with the wires and washer fluid tube that feed from the glass into the roof? Any recommendation for quick disconnect fittings?
@Bestop Would love a kit to essentially convert the glass to a āsoft top rear...
My problem is I have three across, so canāt reach the buckle in between the booster and the car seat next to itā¦ The website says no extender available anyway unless I need to pick different options.
I obviously knew the Jeep wasnāt going to be the family truckster but in fairness, it was here...
Did their extender end up working for you? I am looking for the exact same thing, and canāt seem to find the right kind of buckle on Amazon to match the center rear. Which, WHY DID THEY MAKE IT DIFFERENT TO BEGIN WITH?! Ughā¦
I just came across this post, and gave it a shot. Amazingly seems to be working, thank you @jromanmd! My OCD is finally satiated getting the extra cable out of the dash and closing that little cover.
Interestingly, the dongle delivered over night so I tried the Apple brand USB-C to Lightning...
Not finding it with forum search so throwing it out here. Anyone have a solution for the gap between the factory fenders and body to prevent rocks/dirt from getting wedged in there? I am picturing some sort of foam or rubber weather stripping would work, but anyone have success with anything...
I might just be searching for this wrong, but anyone have a suggestion for tailgate window ārain gutter/deflectorā? I have seen a couple Ebay listings for something similar to this, but wonder if it actually works and without obstructing the window when closed...
I have seen several threads on this issue and it seems pretty consistent that this is an issue specifically with iPhone13 and the center console USB port. Jeep Cares keeps saying to DM with VIN#, but is anyone getting a resolution? Instead of telling everyone to DM individually, tell us what is...
Iāve read in other threads it is the āSurf Blueā you want. Have not tried it myself yetā¦

To clarify, I like the blue accents with the red. Also got blue plate frames from weathertech that match pretty well. Jeep, in their infinite wisdom, made the tow hooks a different shade of blue than all the badges though, so I want to repaint them to the proper blue
Yeah, just wish theyād add a feature to automatically show you charging stations near your destination when using it for navigation. Unless Iām missing itā¦?
Very interested in this for being able to strap down ground tent and bags while the dog and kids occupy the interior. More of a question for the TopLift people, but anyone have one and know if the top removal jack can/will handle the extra weight? Key reason I havenāt done any platform yet was...
I was looking into this a little last year, so wonder if you ever found any legitimate source for your answers? Most of what Iāve seen online isnāt super helpful, detailed, or Jeep-friendly
