Is the Mopar Freedom Top panel bag included as std on '09 models?
I took delivery of a new '09 Rubicon yesterday & found what appears to be a factory build sheet in the glove box. Among others items listed, each with a "yes/no" beside it, is "T-TOP BAG YES". But, the Mopar top panel storage bag, for the two front sections, was not in my Jeep. I think that '09 is the first model year it's included at no extra charge with the hard top. I'm asking here, before calling my dealer, because I think that the dealer probably is not aware of this change for the '09 model year- they've had a very low '09 inventory, in fact mine was the only one they had yesterday. The two boxes containing the soft top's windows and door frame were inside the Jeep. Can anyone confirm that the Mopar storage bag is included for '09, with the hard top? Thanks.

The window sticker lists the storage bag as part of the dual tops option. Mine didn't come with 1. According to the dealer it's usually in 1 of the boxes withe windows or frames. THey have ordered 1 for me, but I don't have it yet.

Here's a tip. When you get the bag, throw away the nylon strap it comes with to attach it to the rear seats headrests. Go to an army surplus store and pick up two carabiners and use them to clip the bag to the head rests. I used to have to crawl into the back seat everytime I wanted to change panels, now I just undo the clips.

I picked up my '09 about 3 - 4 weeks ago. Mine came with the bag. It also was listed on the window sticker under the description of the hard top. While I was checking inventories at dealers prier to choosing the one I have, some '09's had it and some didn't. Maybe it was a mid year production thing.

Mine, 09 X with hard top only, no bag, which is why I have bought one and am waiting on delivery.
