Ever have a problem with the rubber pads falling off from the header panel latch when removing the front panels?



Here is my quick fix - a small screw like this:



And the results:



No more falling off and getting lost.

 

i think yours looks different then mine somehow i don't think i have big rubber thing, just a small piece of foam sticky stuff that has moved about some

 

The rubber ones fell off one side of my soft top. I just found it on the floor of my jeep and was like wtf is this? Think I tossed it on accident.

 

Same here...no rubber thingy, just felt patch....

 

i've just got the sticky felt patch too. could it be a difference in build dates?

 

Mine was built Feb. 2007.

 

Mine HAD the sticky felt patch.... long since fallen off and gone away.
I am contemplating what to do for a replacement for it....

 

same here. if you come up with something, let us know.

 

It looks like they improved the design a bit. I have a felt sticky patch on my top that has fallen off, moved around and now does not seal the front as well because it is now about half the width it used to be. The version pictured here looks much better.

 

im not sure what could replace this and still hold up under its use of latching & unlatching must be something rubber like or soft but still stay put . could be a mod thats needs dreaming up now who has a plan of action ..........band aid, rubber band glued on, another felt patch with sticky tar like glue . rubber grommet cut & silicone, and last but not least my duct tape
