Hey Groundrat....Not to be overly critical, but your green text is almost unreadable...Makes me not want to read your posts..

BTW, My 10/26 build has all the lights and harnesses...Good luck with that!

I would be screaming and shouting at the dealer to get this fixed.

I don't think that will happen on the JK. While there are two small plastic push-in retaining pins at the front, the actual insulation pad is held up by several large metal "lips".

Even after taking the small pins out, removing the pad took a lot of sliding and maneuvering. I took it our to reinstall one of the hood windshield bumpers.

I had neither light. Dealer got/is getting me both. Mine was built after the underhood lamps got canceled. It had the harness though.

Wraithyjeep,

I'd like to use this info. with my dealer, if my JK does not have the matting. Do you have any reference for this? Is it Federal law? Some documentation would be great to take to the dealer.

Thanks

The build date on my JK is 11/9/06. My Jeep had the underhood blanket, but no light. The dealer noticed it after they took delivery, ordered it, and installed it about a week later. I noticed a little while back that I didn't have the foot well courtesy lamp. I said something about it last week when I took it in for service and they ordered it... no questions asked.

Where did you come up with that? By the time a fire has progressed to the point of melting plastic, a blanket is not going to put it out.
