Hey Sean:

Normally I'd steer you away from contacting Bestop for parts for the OEM soft top as despite the fact that they make it for FCA, it is FCA's product and FCA's replacement parts: a stance Bestop will politely and likely inform you of should you contact them; not because they're being difficult, but because their likely adhering to contractual obligations with FCA on this matter.

BUT...that said, it seems that the "C" channel hardware you seek is ALSO used by Bestop in the soft top products they exclusively sell and service. That suggests that they can help you secure/source this product.



So, that said, why not give them a call? Good luck. :)

P.S. If I misread the attachment hardware you seek, mistaking it for that which interfaces with the tub, rather than "C" channel, I'd still say that what I say above applies.

@Slombardi20 I'm not %100 on what you're looking for. Are you looking for the plastic strip on the bottom of the soft top window that engages with the Jeep's tub?

Lee - thank you for reaching out on this I am looking for the Top part of the window that replaced the zippers on the JL Model. The part that connects the Windows to the actual soft top. It seems to be more of a C channel and retailer rail system>

Just wanted to report back that the channel I ordered worked great!

I already had this shelf in my garage so I added these hooks I had laying around to hold my side windows and this channel to hold the rear window:

Very nice - I'll be copying most of this setup for the soft windows!
