Good morning everyone. I hope for good news and pics this week. I can not
believe there are a few long waits still here. I want the best for you very soon.
Yes it is worth the wait if that helps but yet this should not be happening.
You waiters are very strong and something I just could not do.

On another note: Who with a hardtop is getting the "Rattle". It will most likely
happen to you too. I had a rattle for a week now and could not find it. CRAZY !!!!
After searching this form and Net it was a very simple fix. It was on passenger side
if you hit small bumps. It is the plastic cover on hardtop right behind both seats.
Looks to be fastened with double stick tape. After out in the sun for a time it becomes
loose. For now I have pushed it back in place until fixed correctly.

That damn rattling noise has been killing me for weeks now!! hahaha
Mine's coming from the passenger side and seems to be around the overhead speaker. Ill definitely look more into again today.
Thanks for the tip.

Anybody having glitches with the radio/Uconnect? Even when listening to XM, at the beginning of songs, I get 1 beat of distortion 5 or 10 seconds in to the song.

I thought maybe I had a bad lighting (Apple) cable, but it is happening on XM too.

If this has been discussed already, sorry and can you post the link?

I think read someplace they did some unconnect sw updates, not sure if you can do or dealer

Hey PW, you should buy a JL on the lot now if you want one. Prices for new builds went up $500 on July 1st.

Rear Seat Storage Solution.....

Here is something many of you 2 door owner's that remove and place in storage (long or short time storage) your rear seat, will undoubtedly really appreciate knowing about it .

My guess is many will go and order one of these today.

Over the years, I have used garbage bags and the like ....

but with the JL, I decided I must come up with a really decent solution for protecting my 2dr rear seat when it is removed and in storage.

I want it sealed in something zippered, something that does not look like chitt. Something that I could easily unzipper and look into..

I wanted it not to be a real tight fit.

I want it in an enclosed bag that does not let let pass thru to the seat. This will prevent fading while in storage.

Again, sealed against the elements, against critters, bugs, etc.. I want to put moth balls and or dryer sheets in with it to ward off the critter's and bugs.

OH, also wanted something bag wise that was durable and cheap and had a decent zipper

Found something that meets all these wants...

Don't have my new JL yet, but I've got one of these on order. Thanks for the heads up!

The TopLift Pro is a terrific offering and if you plan to go topless often, it is worth it's weight in gold...

As for the door caddy and bag cover, I would go for home grown alternatives that do not require such a $ outlay.

With the TopLift Pro lift, you will always be able to resell that down the road someday (when you sell your JK) for at least half of what you paid for it.

Thank you, that’s very helpful. I think I’ll go ahead and get it. What’s the point of having a Jeep if you don’t go topless???

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 was the one who posted that I had found the plastic cover (one behind driver and one behind passenger) on my 2dr. hardtop, was the source of rattles I had on both sides. Geeeez, it was an annoying rattle. Like it was coming from within the door or something.

Here is my original post on this:
https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/weird-plastic-rattle.10570/#post-251573

Anyway, I addressed each plastic cover and the rattle(s) have not occurred. I do expect that should I hit the wrong bump that one or the other side plastic piece could jar loose and rattle again. Time will tell.


Also, yes the factory has them fastened with little pieces of black double sided tape that is not up to the job so to speak.

I had that the other day and fiddled with it a bit and now mysteriously it is gone. It is the white plastic trim piece.

My thoughts and Prayers go out to you for your mother. I am sure we all
here will say a Prayer for both of you. God Bless You.

Gotta be fixed or it will come back. At least you know where it is. The sitting
in hot sun will bring back the "Rattle".

Yes, you can press in hard on the plastic cover and it magically goes away.... then when you hit a bump or twist the JL a bit it will start up again. I went thru this vicious cycle over and over until I used the Command Strips as I mentioned earlier..

By the way, the rattle comes from the lower part of the cover not up high.
