I like how you think
I thought the same thing, I knew one of you guys would say it
What’s the black handle/knob on top? I want those for mine. I hated the key ring.Got mine done using the stock brackets. The pin is a 5/16” pin so I used a letter O (which is a little bit bigger than a 5/16” drill bit) bit to drill out the bracket holes and arm bushing. Hardest part was cutting the old pin to get the bracket off. No clicking at all.
It’s the style pin I found on Amazon. I can get a link for you here shortly. They have many sizes. I got the 1.6” ones but the 1” ones should work as well. It’s a push button to release the balls at the bottom
Much nicer. Thanks.It’s the style pin I found on Amazon. I can get a link for you here shortly. They have many sizes. I got the 1.6” ones but the 1” ones should work as well. It’s a push button to release the balls at the bottom
VERY similar, but more fancy and nice, than the ones I was referring to which I have used a lot when I didn't want to mess with the hair clips and so on.It’s the style pin I found on Amazon.

Thanks! I picked one up a couple weeks ago at the parts counter at the Jeep dealer.
What did you use to cut out the old pin? Think I'm going this way since the '26 parts aren't available yet.Got mine done using the stock brackets. The pin is a 5/16” pin so I used a letter O (which is a little bit bigger than a 5/16” drill bit) bit to drill out the bracket holes and arm bushing. Hardest part was cutting the old pin to get the bracket off. No clicking at all.
I used a portable m12 bandsaw and a 2” m18 die grinder. The die grinder obviously would have done it all, but I wanted to limit the sparks in the open door. Bandsaw is cleaner, but I could only get almost through before it interfered with something and bottomed out. I left my doors on, as I decided it was easier than finding a safe place to put them without damage.
Also, I’m very happy about this cheap mod. I’ve used it since installing and it’s fantastic. I pulled all the split rings. They’re not necessary and just get in the way.
I just used a grinder with a cutoff wheel. Sparky but does the job. Many use a dremel with a small wheel.
