Default Metal Softop Header

I searched the TSB section and couldn't find the metal softop header tsb. Could someone please point me in the right direction. Thanks.

Gosh I haven't paid too close attention lately but I haven't heard anything about a metal header, the replacements were the plastic like original equipment, I believe. I have a metal header that came with my Bestop bikini, not worth a darn- I wish it would work with the OEM plastic header.

i think its associated with " wind noise " or leaking top. At least thats what i was searching when i found it. My soft top was leaking like crazy. They fixed the leak but i'm sure didn't replace the header bar.

Definetly metal, i installed it myself. Worked like a charm to stop the deafening roar, did NOTHING to stop my leak problem though.

Had mine replaced last week. It has stopped a whistle over the drivers side.
