 | Subject: Hardtop Tue 27 Jul 2010, 6:56 am | |
| I found a guy in houston that will trade me my soft top and $500 for his 2010 hardtop.From what I can tell I will need a wiring harness and new wiper lever to operate the rear wiper? Is there anything else I will need for the hardtop to work or that I should make sure I get from the hardtop seller? Thanks |

| Make sure you get the pieces that slide underneath the lip of the body. This is what the hardtop bolts to.
FYI, I know the guy you're talking about. I had a deal with him to buy that top when it first went on CL. To make a long story short, he ended up backing out of the deal b/c a better deal came along.
Good luck. |

| Does the wiring harness include the new control knob to replace the factory wiper control? I am pretty sure the softtop front wiper control knob doesn't have the control for the rear. |

| Yeah you have to change the wiper control and run the rear harness for the rear wiper . I found the complete kit for $130 |

| I gave my wife my hardtop but never bought a new wire harness. I guess I should look for that kit you found. $130 isn't too bad. She has been driving without the wipers in back for a year now. I guess I could swap our two wire harnesses and save that money but I don't want to do that work twice. |

| Sorry to hear that bud. He screwed me over b/c you came along with a better offer and now he just did the same to you. I'm sorry to see it happen but I can't say that I'm surprised.
Don't sweat the hardtop stuff. They come available every now and then. Hell, I've been searching for the right one for over a year now. The deal with that guy was the 3rd person who flaked out on me. I think it must be the Jeep Gods telling me that I'm better off in the soft top! |

| http://www.wildboarproducts.com/fastbacktops.html this is the wild boar top. I would wait rather than buy one from the dealer. I mean I have nothing against Love Chrysler, I bought mine there, and know the owner and her husband personally, but You can find a used one way cheaper and component install cant be that complicated. |
