Default Rollbar paint

Anybody else take their padding off to find out your rollbar isnt painted all the way?

Yes - it's crazy !!! We could all fix it with a spray can, but shouldn't have to on a $30K+ new auto !!! Saying that, Im still beamingly happy with it....

I drove for a while with the soft top & doors off and the front rollbar tubes removed - cool & breezy. The visably missing paint was annoying but the 'B' pillar shook enough to need to screw them back on.

Default Dealership says...

Mine will be headed to the body / paint shop for this too...

The lack of paint can be easily seen without removing the covers...and opening the hood...and by the doors...

btw...I took my covers off because the fabric had faded and the dealership suggested removing them, washing them and possibly dyeing them...

IF (very large if) the faded areas are still there after a good washing (yeah right) - they suggested I dye it. I suggested that the introduction of another chemical sounds like a potential for them to deny the repair.

They agreed and said I should still wash it first and they'll see what it looks like when I bring it in next time...

Everything is half painted on the vehicle. sport cage, tailgate hinges, entire tub, etc. It's really kinda disappointing to me. I would have paid 250$ more to have the vehicle painted like my TJ was.

Wait until you remove the carpet. I'll give you a spoiler. think primer. not painted body.

:angry: i was mad to find this out when i lifted my carpet as well, now im saddened to find that the roll bars are half painted as well o well i think im going get a spray liner for the tub, but the cage might be worth painting, i dont like that pads.
