See above - I did and there are none on Craig's list
anywhere near me. I am not insane to buy one from the Jeep dealer as they have none and none are available to Chrysler anywhere.

The hardtop supplier is not Bestop, it is a company called CSP. The hardtop was resourced from Meridian in the summer and the new supplier has been having a very difficult time keeping up. The top is made from a material called SMC which is hard to process. They are getting better and there should not be any more supply problems goin forward.

The Dodge Journey liftgate is made from SMC too.
Advantage - 30% weight savings and ability to mold into difficult shapes. Disadvantage - very hard to process, lots of sanding and filling required.
