Hi there,
I just bought an 08 Sahara unlimited and the day I arrive home I noticed it that the sound bar has like stripes(wood like). It looks like it was sanded but feels smooth to the touch. Im gonna post some pix..
I ask the dealer and she said all saharas came with that finishing wood alike touch,is it true?

I don't remember anything like that on mine... but once you post some pics, I'll know what I'm looking for.

my '07 Sahara has no woodgrain texture in the soundbar plastic that I am aware of.

Both our Unlimited and 2 dr 08 Sahara's have it. When plastic is pressure injected into a mold because of the cooling it makes what appears as waves or as you put it wood grain. No issues with it...just part of the injection process.

Thank you all for your help!
I was driving my dealer crazy! I havent noticed that in my other jeeps,but you have more experience than me.
And thank you eaglemikeo, for helping me posting the pix!

its kinda like splay. When it was injcted or shot into the mold the plastic was to cold. Its not supposed to look like that i am guessing. They need to adjust temp and cycle times.

Hi! and thanks for your reply...
So what do you think? I leave it like that or I ask my dealer to change it?

I think it looks pretty cool..although it's just a picture and I can't see it in person.

hmmm.. being nit-picky with cosmetics on a jeep? you should think about more fun topics like where to go camping/exploring/wheeling/leaving the suburbs or city and "have fun out there!"
