[QUOTE="MacGuyver, post: 447478, member: 18877"] Hmm.. you can dig around on extreme terrain, or one of the other aftermarket jeep places for the parts. It's pretty hard to see what is going on in the pics. I don't remember there being any exposed springs on any soft top, but it's been a long enough winter and perhaps they are there and I'm not thinking straight. This weekend was going to be when switched tops for the summer, but I hung out with mom instead. On the other side, it's a jeep. If you are able to get the cable and make a loop in the end to attach to, you are golden. Nothing says that the method of fixing needs to be factory original. Open the top partially and see if you can fish that thing out. As a note so you know. The 2011 is a unique year. It has the 3.8 engine from 2007 on (they switched to the 3.6 in 2012), but it has the updated interior of the later model JKs. So some parts are going to be year specific, not a ton, but some. The top is not one of those things. They switched to that cable system in 2010 or 2011 (not sure). So you can get a replacement off craigslist from any year up to 2017 and part of 2018. The cable system is a lot better than the older type. [/QUOTE]
