Default 2013 2-Dr. soft top. Am I missing pieces?

Hey All. I have a 2013 Rubicon that came with both tops. I've never installed the soft top, but am starting to get the urge to do so. Before I do though, I need to know if I'm missing something.

It looks like the "bar" that goes across the bottom of the rear window is supposed to be retained by a piece on either side of the tailgate. True? If so, are these separate pieces that I'm supposed to attach, or am I not seeing something that is right in front of me? Perhaps it somehow attaches to something that is already there? I have all the window surrounds and other giblets, but I am not seeing any separate pieces for this task.

Help?

Thanks,
Tom

You're looking for the tailgate bar retainers.

Thank you. I'm apparently missing those two pieces. I just ordered them. Cheap enough to have a working soft top.

Tom.
