Default My hardtop caught a bullet

I found it two days ago I have no idea when it happened. My guess is that someone shot up into the air miles away and his bullet landed right on top of my jeep. So my question is how do you think I could go about getting a replacement front left freedom top panel for my jeep? Can the dealer get single panels?

That is crazy. Pretty sure you could have it repaired much cheaper than a new panel.

Damn, you sure are lucky, it could have hit you! Good thing JKs are bullet proof. I hope to never test my soft top like that....

That's what I was going to say. Silicone. Interesting conversation piece. It is scary though.
