So do mine. They haven’t caused a problem and have been used since July 2021.Pics of my 2020 - note the gap tapers towards the front, as expected for water drainage. Just enough gap at the front to not drag on the door frame. But you can see it wouldn’t take much to get the interference you are experiencing. The rails also have a slight upward tilt as seen from the front view, which may account for the lack of door frame interference.
Hey - just for comparison - diving back into this “Bestop Sunrider” vs “Jeep Sunrider” differences…on the drip rail back corner, I have a Bestop label - you have a Jeep label.

Which is interesting as the freedom panels drain forward without that diminishing clearance or gap because of the natural slop of the body shape, and slight rake they all have.
No indication of any brand or location, name, anything. Just the tag sewn at the right rear of the drip rail. Otherwise you'd have no idea who made it, where or when.Hey - just for comparison - diving back into this “Bestop Sunrider” vs “Jeep Sunrider” differences…on the drip rail back corner, I have a Bestop label - you have a Jeep label.
just wondering - on the rear clamp on both of mine, the is a raised Bestop emblem:
Is your clamp the same, or some other logo?
Any other Bestop markings at all?
Also on the latches:No indication of any brand or location, name, anything. Just the tag sewn at the right rear of the drip rail. Otherwise you'd have no idea who made it, where or when.
This is it, and even this is generic as heck - it's English!

Crap I forgot about thatYou seem to forget - they can drive..........
And the 2 sun dials .. indicate the month and Year of manufacture.No indication of any brand or location, name, anything. Just the tag sewn at the right rear of the drip rail. Otherwise you'd have no idea who made it, where or when.

Nope - those are plain as can be. There's only one way to know and that's the tag sewed in, and - one piece actually has a MOPAR logo and part number - that rear "clamp" that holds the center of the rear down against the seals.Also on the latches:
on the latches too…
Yeah, forgot about those (actually, totally overlooked them) - as used in casting iron and steel parts etc.
Judging from the number I would say it is a part # .. put it in a google search see what shows up.
Well, the 594.82 assy, rear header with insert nuts was made 5th month 2024.
Next question would be is that bestops part # or Mopar #Well, the 594.82 assy, rear header with insert nuts was made 5th month 2024.
They certainly aren't selling them very well!
That's 10 months it sat before my truck was made - likely why my dealer acted like they had never even seen one and the sales guy said he'd never sold one before - slow sales!
Wow they certainly didn't sell many of them I am guessing most folks just toss off the freedom panels and go for it if it rains it rains kinda deal. I know if I remove I gotta wear a hat anyway .Well, the 594.82 assy, rear header with insert nuts was made 5th month 2024.

With the heat, humidity, and UV on the old skin, I must run with a shade of some sort, and - the hotheads liner would be a must for this.
Hmmm...your latched even look flimsy in comparison to my Bestop hinges. Even the interior side of the fabric looks different on mine (I have the higher level twill) as does the leading edge that rests on the windscreen seal:Nope - those are plain as can be. There's only one way to know and that's the tag sewed in, and - one piece actually has a MOPAR logo and part number - that rear "clamp" that holds the center of the rear down against the seals.
And all of that makes me believe - Jeep doesn't even make these things - except maybe this clamp. And the lack of anything suggesting Bestop is also suggesting - they are made by someone else FOR Jeep - as it takes a lot to get rid of all of the Bestop logos and numbers and such.
