I never noticed that my freedom panels are missing threaded pieces needed to secure them through the sound bar. I've got the knob/screws just not the threaded part... I think they are little black knobby things?




I've searched and can't find anything! Any ideas? I'm looking to use them this summer without the back end of the hard top. Thanks!

I think this is what SHOULD be there...

 

Item #9 -- 68004563AA -- SPACER BLOCK, Targa Panel

Item #11 -- 68004988AA -- SCREW, Hardtop Hardware, M6x1.0

 

And here is a picture from my Freedom Panel so you can see you are missing the nut that should be spot welded onto that flat plate. I am guessing someone may have over tightened yours?

 

Got it! Thanks so much.... Looks like I need 8,9, and 10. I didn't realize it was one whole piece like pictured. I picked up the panels used (for a great price) and never noticed.

Really appreciate your help

I don't think it's really worth worrying about. I removed the screws the first time I removed the panels and haven't bothered to reinstall them.

 

I don't mind going w/out the hand screws when I've got the back end of the hard top on but I'm looking to run the front panels only like a bikini top. I'm thinking the panels should be screwed down on the back.

 

I've run into the same issue. I know this is an old thread but maybe some one will see it! How can I replace this threaded nut. I just bought this jeep used and one of the nuts is stripped. THANKS!
