Roof panel question

[gfsteam]

Has anyone had to replace a roof panel. Some needed my passenger side more than me today and I need a new one. 5VN10RXFAM is the part number I find but I'm not clear if it includes the latches and weather gasket.
Thanks G

I can't answer your question but check with your dealer parts department and they should be able to answer your question. Now I have a question for someone. What is the hardtop made out of? I am asking because I plan to paint mine with high-value infrared reflective paint to help shealed us from the southern heat. Thank You Mac

Stupid me left them in the bed instead if putting them back on. Only got one though.

So did it just fly out or did someone steal it? That's just a really odd thing to steal. Especially to steal just one

They are made of SMC, which is like fiberglass.

You too. If yours are black, you might have luck finding someone selling theirs, if they switched to a soft top. Depending on price, maybe you’d also spend less just buying a sunrider to replace the freedom tops.

Give an inquiry to the local junkyard as well. Obviously that stuff doesn't survive major accidents, but the junkyard staff will be able to give you a quick answer over the phone.

Good idea.

Not sure how much a new one is, but Clear-Lidz looks interesting....

I’m sorry that happened. I’d be pissed. They’re really expensive new.

Do JL ones fit? That would open up a lot more opportunities.

edit: it does appear that JL freedom panels fit.

Check with allmoparparts here, Benny would be happy to look that up for you (oops, perhaps I should not assume for Benny! Naw, he's a good guy, very helpful)
He likely wouldn't ship such a thing but can give you all of he facts about them - numbers, what they do or do not come with, etc.
And totally agree on the earlier suggestion of checking with salvage yards. There's a lot of Gladiators in the yards sorry to say.
You'll have to have it painted either way, so do you care if it's new as long as it's undamaged?
