JL Freedom Top Panels - Do yours open by themselves

[Ralvat]

My freedom panels backside latches always loosen.

At first I thought is was my kids and I have been yelling at my kids for months to stop touching them. BUT its not them.

Anyone else have this issue (not the kids) and how did you fix it? ( seems to happen with pot hole events)

I find the latches on the 2019 are definitely looser than the ones on my 2015. But they haven't opened on their own... yet.

Mine are just the opposite, super tight. I imagine they can pretty easily be tightened down or loosened at the handle

Put some Invisible scotch tape over them ; that will eliminate the " meddling " possibility...

Just noticed the passenger side back latch was in the open position by itself today, went to latch it and I think the latch stop broke lol. I swear its always something.

There’s a bracket on the roll bar that they latch to. Adjust it so they get a tighter grip.

Don't the latches themselves have torx screws in them you can tighten?

This^^^ for mine too!

Mine have never budged and top have never leaked and I have them on/off all summer long

My driver side opens by itself.
