Default Unlimited Front Door Surrounds

My JK came with both hard and soft top, but I was missing the front two door surround brackets and my dealership pretty much said tough luck. Since these seem to be really expensive for a 2ft piece of plastic, does anyone have a pair they feel like selling?

Sounds like you need to work your way up the ladder at the dealership. You paid for the entire vehicle. Not a vehicle with parts missing. You wouldn't be ok with it if they sold you a vehicle without a steering wheel. Go back to the dealer and ask again for the door surrounds you paid for. If they say no again, talk to his manager, then his manager and so on.

Is there mention of the door surrounds not being included in the sales invoice? The invoice should clearly state your purchase does not include those parts. If not threaten to sue him, have a lawyer buddy call up the owner/manager of the used car place. Even though you don't really intend to. Those door surrounds cost $90 a piece! People have litigated for less than $360, Judge Judy his ass!!

Used is a different story. Sorry about your luck.

Someone else mentioned checking the sales invoice, if it mentions 2 tops, and doesn't note that parts may be missing then I'd say you'd have a pretty good leg to stand on to argue that they owe it to you. Of course, it sort of depends on how much of a hassle you want to deal with.

If i were you, I'd just buy the frameless 'fastback' style soft top.... but maybe thats just because I really want one of those....
