Someone early on asked for the puck lift. I have to admit, I did it. Worked on my 94 back in the day and lasted 10 years. $24 for pucks. $32 for all hardware. Grade 8 bolts and bushings. Pics attached. Took about 2 hours.

Also, I hated the silver on my interior doors. I painted them with a textured Heavy Duty Rustoleum flat black. Love the look so much better inside. Did the inside of the soft top with black fabric paint too. Pics attached. Took about hour a door. 3 coats. Cool part is it dries in 15 mins. Took off all panels but still had to mask some stuff.

Love your thread. "Borrowing" a few more ideas from it!

To bend the plastic liners I heated along where I wanted the bend and once you get them warm enough they will bend/fold relatively easily and will hold their shape (notice I said warm not hot, you don't want to melt/burn the plastic). For the heating I simply used a charcoal grill lighter I had and it worked very nicely. Here are some pics (I don't have any close ups but can work on getting some maybe, right now it's 19° and snowing pretty well so might be tomorrow or later).

It's a little nerve racking at first, but if you have a steady hand once you do it you'll wonder why it took you so long to complete this mod.

The 2011 stickers are heat sealed to the visor and don't come off. Seems like a lot of work for Chrysler to make sure a set stickers don't come off. Maybe they should focus on water leaks instead ?

Just unscrew the visors at the top and slide them off the rods. Then swap. Don't know about 2011-2012 though. Just thought I'd share.
