Funny you should ask that. Just last Saturday I was standing behind the Jeep and I noticed my removable rear drivers side window was sticking out about 1/16th of an inch on the bottom. The passenger side one was flush with the vehicle. I had to take it out twice and redo it to finally get it the right way.
I just installed t
just installed as well. It’s a tad quieter inside but definitely cooler with it sitting in the Florida sun. Heat use to radiate off my bald head even w the ac blasting. Now w the headliner it’s almost cool to the touch after a couple of mins w the ac on.
To be honest Tom I didn’t really inspect the weather stripping because after redoing the window twice I was able to get it in flush. I will look again later
W/ the Hothead Liner do you think the additional thickness makes the retraction/extension any harder for the roof motor? Looking at YT videos it seems to add a bit of bulk - when the roof is all the way back is it still compact? Any concerns with how the liner folds with the roof material? I would love to buy one but can’t help but think those few millimeters are going to jack something, somewhere. Thoughts?
No. The liner folds up with the roof...accordion style.
It is very light weight. Doesn’t seem to sound any different opening or closing. Being an ex service manager at a dealership, if I had a major problem with the roof then I would probably remove it before bringing the Jeep in for service but is quick.
Service Manager: "What are these velcro strips for?"
if I had a major roof problem, like a blown motor then I would take off the Velcro as well. Easy enough to replace a few dollars worth of Velcro. That being said I don’t think the liner would cause any addition strain on any parts of the system
