I got the dual-top option when I bought my 2010. Finally warmed up enough, and i put the soft top on yesterday.

install went smoothly, until i looked for the 4 bolts needed (2 per side) to mount the bows to the brackets on the rear-most roll bar.

assuming the dealer charges and arm and a leg for these (and would probably still charge me, even though they weren't included on a brand new car), anyone know what size they are? I'd prefer to just run to the hardware store after work today.

Thanks!


looks like the bolts for #7 here:

I don't remember exactly but I bought my softtop off of craigslist and it was missing those bolts too. I bought them at Home Depot. They were either 6mm or 7mm? They are at Home Depot or Lowes look for M6 or M7. Maybe someone here will answer with the exact size.

Thanks. Maybe i'll see if they'll let me out of the store with a handful of different sizes.

I lost mine a while back, and I just said to heck with it, and got them at the dealership. Yes, it was much more expensive than home depot... but i want to say it was a couple dollars each. I think I spent $10 on all 4, so it wasn't too outrageous of a price.

I'll see if I can find the measurements though.

I believe you are looking for Jeep part number 06503259
(google search "Jeep 06503259")

should be M6x1x20... I've seen them online (re: google search above) for $2.75 each.

Call your dealership with that part number, and see what they will charge for it... if its fair price, might be easier.

Dealership is sending me 4 new ones for free.

once they get here, i can pull out the mechanics wire that's in its place.

Thats a great deal!

I assume you looked under the fabric cover on the rollbar itself to see if they were preset there right?

uh oh....


are they supposed to be? i couldn't find any instructions telling me where to find them - i just figured they would be in the box with the rest of the stuff.

i'll go check in a bit
