After owning my 24 sahara for over 1 yr i just noticed this exposed wiring area when u open your rear window and look to left...should this have a cover over it?

The harness itself looks similar to my 23 but mine has a black plastic shroud and the interior wall of the hardtop is molded differently. If you are concerned I think I would raise the harness a little further up into the hole so the exposed wires are farther away from the edge of the hole in the hardtop that the wiring passes through, then use a Velcro tie wrap to hold in place. The other 2 wire harness in my pic is not OEM.

I’m not sure, it needs to be low enough to easily disconnect it to remove the top. Hopefully others with 24 or later can answer.

I wouldn't say it's abnormal or concerning. You want to be cautious when removing the top and disconnecting the harness.

My design is a bit different but the upper connection clicks into a bracket to keep the wires higher in the housing. Maybe check to see if you can click it in a bit higher.

I'll bet there is a click in piece up a little higher. I can disengage the red tab and pull the bottom of the harness without holding the upper harness connection with the wires that are protruding in your picture.

Sky One Touch changes things it appears. Earlier model but check the video at about the 6 minute mark. Looks like because the SOT top is molded differently in that area the black shroud is different and yours may be missing, Blurry screen shots from the video
