Went to the dealer
Okay . . .
Things went better than I expected for my used '07 JKU.
I went to the dealer and talked them into fixing them (I had only bought it a few weeks prior). They replaced them for free!
The ones they put on are wider than the originals and all they did was drill out the rivits and replace them with new ones.
Wirks like a champ.
They look like something I could have picked up at the locak fabric store but it was good they took care of it.
Thank heavens for an extended warranty!

+1 I bought my first Jeep, a 2010 4d JKU and see the same thing. Looks like I'm going to get comfortable drilling out rivets and putting in screws and washers.
Is there any guidance for proper positioning of the plastic clips that are attached to the bow above the rear passenger seats?

My strap came off too, on the passenger side. I told the service guy at the dealership (was there for an oil change) and he said they want to send it out to an upholstery shop to get it fixed. I'm sure they would fix it the way it should of been done in the first place. So I'm thinking i might as well have them do both sides, then he says "can you leave it for a day or two" ... WHAT??? If I had the tools I'm sure I could do it myself in less than 30 minutes. The dealer is paying for it but I want to be there to make sure they don't F'up my top. I'm pretty sure they can fix it in a few minutes but I'll take a Dodge SRT-10 for "a day or two" if the dealer wants me to ... lol On a side note, why does that bow between the doors have Velcro that you can remove the bow from the top? You don't have to unvelcro it to put it in the sunrider position or all the way down ... am I missing something? I might have to look at the pictures in the manuel again.
