Side note: I have had quite a bit of door rattle when going over bumps. Pretty common thing, from the posts that I see on here. When I put the hardtop back on, I noticed that there are two holes in the front corner of the hardtop for bolts. They bolt right in between the front and back doors, near the B pillar. I went to Lowe's to get some bolts to bolt down the corners of the hardtop. After I put them in, the door rattle is almost non-existent.
I may try and see if there are additional bolts that need tightening on the roll cage.
So, if anyone has the old door rattle when driving on rough roads, you may look up there to see if everything is tight. I always thought it was the door latch rattling, but apparently it was coming from the roll cage.

Remember to check on antenna length (2' might be too short, and you probably don't want some 5' one), and whether you cut, or use a screw to tune it. Let us know if you snag this stuff.

Here is a shot of the bolt I used:
It is the same size / thread as the 6 bolts that hold the hardtop to the body in the back. I think they were something like M8/1.125.
Here are some shots of the bedlined top as well.

Thanks for the pic Anthony. May have to poke around a little and see if that's also applicable to 2DRs. 
Where'd you buy them (just in case I have to procure a few)?
I think they were something like M8/1.125.
