I have a new JT (and new to the Jeep brand) and I am loving the no top no doors feeling. It's what sold me to the JT. With that said recently I put the doors back on and had issues with the BSM not working, the radio not turning off when opening the driver's door, and sometimes the auto start/stop feature wasn't available. Did some research and found out the pins were bent. I tried to fix it and ended up taking it to the dealership to have it fixed. I figured it was under warranty, but they said I caused the issue and after a few minutes of arguing over the phone, we settled on a price of labor for 2 hours ($200). They took a picture of it to show me what the issue was. Once I went back and picked it up, the final price was $135 and some change. I accepted that I did it wrong and paid for the service and told the service manager if I was doing it wrong (which I wasn't as I've done it a ton of times before without any issues), I asked him to show me the correct way to connect them back. He refused because he said there is a chance of them being misaligned and not longer working. After some "heighten" vocal exchanges, I left. I was thinking if I was truly doing something wrong I could correct it then or if the service manager put them back in and bent them putting it in, it wasn't my user error but an error on the manufacturing side of things. Now I have that fear of taking my doors off, I may mess up and bend the pins again.
Anyways I know the forums are full of the issue and how to fix the problem, but is there any pointers on how to keep them straight when replacing? I just want to keep them straight and perfect when putting them back on?
Also if you look inside the connection part tied to the vehicle is the exposed pins the same or is one different than the other? In my case the driver side has more of the pins exposed when compared to the passenger side.
