They should put it on the center console (where the arm rests, right on the front facing part) or steering wheel.
Maybe a dumb question, but why not just put the window controls on the doors like every other vehicle? I mean, if you remove the doors, it's not as if you'd need to use the switches for any reason. Logically, shit like door locks, side mirror adjustment and window controls belong there, imo.

May be other reasons, but I'd guess weight savings to help with door removal is at least part of it.



The one interior option I'd really like to see added is cooled/ventilated seats!

Really can't imagine a few extra switches and wires would add that much weight. Any circuits would still remain behind the dash. Putting window switches on the dash/console is like putting heat/AC controls on the steering wheel and cruise control on the door. I mean sure, a bunch of switches stacked on the dash looks cool, so maybe that's the reason?

Well, if you're going to use logic, the Internet is probably not for you.
Illogical design elements, it's a Jeep Thing, you wouldn't understand. ?

HVAC controls are on my Ford Super Duty steering wheel for gawd's sake.

• Offer 4xe across all trim levels, the 2 door as well. It’s highly unlikely that Jeep is considering this.

• 2.0 with the manual…I know, again not happening.

• Bring back some of the fun colors Jeep is known for. The palette seems stale, High Velocity not withstanding.

The switches are needed in the center console to operate the rear windows when those doors are left in, which I see often when kids or dogs are back there.

I thought about that at first, but so far I've only taken the front doors off, so you still need a way to control the rear mirrors.

Oh, I didn't realize that was a Rubicon thing.



My 2022 Rubicon has one. I use it all the time...once.

Well, with the push to electric everything everywhere we look in life I guess you are in the minority. Congrats.

Guess that does make sense in such a scenario. Was thinking it still might be possible for window controls on the rear doors with a lockout on the dash, but might be hard to train your dog to roll them down just enough, lol.

Probably wouldn't be an issue if not for the 4-door being a thing, which I tend to ignore (sorry, not sorry) ;)
