This may be a cheesy mod but it works great! I purchased two Husky keychain flashlights - the ones u can disconnect from keychain - and I attached them to each visor - the visors' lift when closed keeps them in place (no rattle etc) and when the visor is lowered they slide moreso than fall - and you can either direct your light or you can disconnect from keychain (about midway of black string) if you need the flashlight elsewhere; and when theyre not in use theyre hidden. u can get them at Walmart. Heres pic:

So I am sitting at work today and while replacing some door handles on a few of the meat wagons I had a revelation! The heavy duty foam seal that adheres around the latches has a leftover square section that would otherwise be simply thrown away. I thought to myself that such high quality foam shouldn't be wasted and needs to be repurposed somehow. This foam has a super sticky backing. I am open to suggestions on the plethora of ways I can adhere it to my JK. At first I thought about making myself a headliner but am afraid that when the Oklahoma summer hits the foam backing would peel away from the top... I also thought about making myself a cush shifter knob... Is there any way to use it to get rid of the whistling of the top or to reduce the rattle of the two top bolts? Thanks for the suggestions and input! Merry Christmas!

I added seatbelt shoulder pads around door handles and handle above glove box for comfort (you have to stretch them a bit); and covered the softtop rubber for better appearance and it helps remove side window flapping. Theyre $3 a piece and actually blend great with interior; however, they catch the light in the below photos so they appear to stand out but they dont.
