Replacing the Jeep Wrangler JK’s Roll Bar Cover
Replacing the roll bar cover on a Wrangler JK is so easy there’s no reason not to.
The Jeep Wrangler JK is perhaps the most widely customized vehicle on the planet. Your choice of parts is virtually endless, giving enthusiasts a blank canvas with which to build their dream off-roader. But oftentimes, we neglect the little things.
Things like roll bar covers, which can quickly become faded, torn, or downright destroyed over time. This is especially true if you spend a lot of time sans top, as you should. The guys over at the YouTube channel TMI will show you how easy it is to replace it.
To fix this problem (almost) permanently, companies like CJ Off-Road offer a solid solution. Their TMI Sport replacement roll bar covers are more durable than factory stitching, and they look awesome, too. Plus, this is one of the easier installs you’ll ever bother with. And it matches the TMI Sport interior for a seamless look.
Heck, you don’t even need any fancy tools. Just a 3/8″ ratchet, 10mm socket, T50 Torx bit, and small flat head screwdriver. To remove the old cover, simply unzip and separate the velcro, then remove the sound bar with your ratchet and socket. Remove the seat belt bolts with your Torx bit, and remove the rear interior light panel. Now you can feed the light’s wiring through the new cover and install it.
Installing the new roll bar cover is basically the reverse of removing the old one. Set it in place, zip it up, and reinstall the seat belts, sound bar, and light. And it’s just that easy. For a few minutes time and a couple hundred bucks, you can replace that old ratty looking cover!
