[QUOTE="Milo Bloom, post: 447480, member: 23344"] Thanks for the info. I don't know if I'd call these "exposed" springs, I had to open up the back windows to find them, but they're not wrapped up in any way. I have since looked into it some more and realized a couple things - 1) there are tons of soft tops out there that may or may not be constructed the same, and 2) I have this one: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018D6WBLS/?tag=jkforum-20[/URL] 3) it appears this may be the part that's gone wrong. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.moparfactoryparts.com/oem-parts/mopar-folding-top-cover-tension-cable-right-68067960ab[/URL] Specifically, it seems to be the spring in the middle of the coiled cable below. [ATTACH type="full" width="316px"]121118[/ATTACH] I knew going in that there were some small holes in the top that I was going to have to patch. Given this development, and that low price point, it seems like I might be best off just replacing the whole top. However, what I'm unsure of now is whether this cable is part of the factory hardware or if it is part of the top. [/QUOTE]
