I am about to purchase a Bestop Sunrider for our 2019 JLRU and after watching a few installation videos, I’m not sure if it will interfere with our Mopar Grab Handles that we have installed. Does anyone have a Sunrider installed with these grab handles and if so...any issues?

Thanks!

I have both installed and there isn't any interference at all.

@RedWranger

Can confirm, they play well together as @Lacroix1 states .
You will have no issues with both installed at the same time.

Thanks @Lacroix1 and @Rhinebeck01 ! I just ordered it. (Now I just wish I hadn’t missed the LITEBRITE promo code for it. Still worth it though!

[GALLERY=][/GALLERY]Not sure where you ordered yours from but about 6weeks since I ordered mine from justforjeeps.com.
The Fabric Twill upgraded option was for $599, free shipping and no tax to CA, plus found a 5% coupon on google making it $569 to my door.

Living in SoCal, I use it every day, best upgrade I’ve done and lately we’ve had tons of rain and “0” leaks.

I can now confirm that the Mopar grab handles and Bestop Sunrider work together flawlessly. These are the two most used and best mods I’ve done. (Heh...I’ve not done much yet.) :)

Am I missing something here? Just received the mopar front and rear grab handles and I don’t understand how the font handles were attached with the sunrider in place. There’s a bracket blocking one of the holes. Can someone who has them installed take a picture of the front driver side grab handle?

Pic attached showing the bracket blocking where the clip should hang. This is the driver door.

They don’t touch. What doesn’t work? Mopar Grab Handles and JTops.

Install the handle before the top. Sure, there is a small gap/offset but it won’t cause any leaking or interfere with function.

Wow I’m an idiot. Didn’t even think to go under it. Thanks!

Don’t worry about it. I never gave it any thought because I had the handles on well before the Sunrider. I read your post and went out into the garage and looked to see how things fit.
