I just had the Rock Hard angled-up sliders installed on my 2023 Rubicon, but the way they align don' t look like pictures I have seen. Specifically, the rear pinch weld hole is still visible. All the other holes are hidden. It is the same on both sides of the jeep. I'm wondering if anyone else has done this install, and the rear pinch weld hole is still visible. I attached a picture.

I don’t have a good picture and I’m traveling but that does not look right.

Maybe you could look again when you're home. I think from those angles the holes aren't visible on mine either.

It looks like they put in the spacer between the pinch seam and slider wrong and did not put in the last bolt.

Ok, that's interesting. What year is your jeep? I actually talked to a guy at Rock Hard and he said on his 2019, it doesn't have a hole at the rear tire so of course it doesn't look like mine. Does yours have a hole at the rear tire and there is a bolt in it?

Mine is a 2022. I'll have a look under the jeep when I'm home Sunday to see if there is an extra hole. From the top it doesn't look like it, but I'm not positive. I'll also measure how far from the end of the pinch weld the last bolt is. It's a bit hard to be sure your hole where my bolt is because of the angle of our pictures.

I took a picture from underneath. and I really don't see how this could be installed incorrectly. At first, I thought maybe it was somehow installed too low. But, if you don't see a hole on yours, then maybe 2023 (or my 2023) just has an extra hole at the rear for some reason.

It looks like you just have an extra hole compared to mine. On mine I have hole in one layer of the sheet metal but it does not go all the way through like yours. Sorry to alarm you.

No, I really appreciate that you took that picture for me! I had already alarmed myself. I'll just stick a rubber grommet in the hole so I won't notice it.
