So I found some locally 1 at 2 different auto zones and installed and all is good it lifts high like my other jeeps.
now I have a new question, I just noticed last night while thoroughly cleaning the inside of the top and freedom panels, there is a rectangular piece on each of the freedom panels on the mating edge towards the rear that has a piece that flips up … I have never had a hardtop and can’t figure out what it’s for…. Attached is a couple pics in the “open” and “closed position.
