Rear Defroster, hard top conversion

[Capt. B]

I'll see if I can find out. iirc, it wasn't that long ago.




Turns out there is two inside, rear trim panels (pn# 6QD59TRMAA & 6QD60TRMAA) that don't come with the hardtop. Why? we do not know.

Are they needed, it's a look thing, all personal preference.

Also interesting when they say it includes rear wiper and lift glass, which are on the JL Wrangler, not the JT Gladiator.

Thanks man, I appreciate the info. Can't understand why BAM left a try tit and Northridge can. I just ordered the Tazer mini from Northridge, fast shipping and they are definitely earning my business over BAM.

Curious about this as well. I did not purchase them. I may be installing my hard top this weekend; or at the very least test fitting, so we'll see. Brackets, I can sort of understand if your Jeep came with a soft top, but it seems odd that a top would not come with trim specifically for said top.

Ours came with the hardtop mounting brackets.

The only thing not included were those rear trim pieces.


Pics of the hardtop we just installed in the Giveaway Gladiator (missing the trim) and pics of the boss' hardtop with the trim pieces:

With Rear Trim Pieces (and insulated roof):

Thanks for that picture, that's really helpful. I'll have to check to see if mine has that. I don't recall it...

Also, is that the mopar headliner kit? Looks good.

 

[Capt. B]

Holy crap it looks 100x better with the trim.

@Tech Tim where did you order the trim pieces? Doesn't seem to be on the Northridge website.

Guessing so, that came stock in his fully loaded Rubicon.

The trim is only the horizontal pieces. The rest of the black is the OE headliner.

We do all genuine parts direct through Mopar.

Haven't ordered them yet, those are two different vehicles.

We should have the trim pieces on our website soon.

Take another look at the pics. I highlighted what I believe the trim pieces are.

Just took a look at the top I picked up, and it does in fact have the trim pieces in place.

Well so much for Northridge. They are charging tax as of 3/1/20 even to states where they don't have any physical business' and, they basically told me to no deal on a military discount and go buy from someone else.
At this point, I'm not paying $3k for a hard top, I'll just have to hold off.

Unfortunately with the new sales tax rules, you can thank the government.

The screen shot you sent us is below our cost, we couldn't price match it.

We finished up the Mopar Hardtop install video:




We then install a Bestop Sunrider in place of the Freedom panels, it makes enjoying the sun with a hardtop super easy and you don't have to worry about storing the Freedom panels in your Gladiator.
