Default Soft to hard

Has anyone gone from soft top to hard top? How about installing a complete hard top harness? I have but....I have an issue. When installing the wire(s) into the c7 connector on the bottom of the TIPM I broke the lock tab inside the connector that holds the 16g or 18g wire. Does anyone know where to find a new connetor or any ideas on fixing the broke one?

I switch between soft an hard for the winter seasons. Jeep should have all harnesses ready. And if the connector can't stay together use electric tape or zip ties to hold them together.

I ordered my 08 sahara edition with just a soft top. No hard top wiring what so ever.

Interesting. There is no plug near the tailgate area inside the jeep? Try checking under the carpet in the rear corners. I think it's the passenger side most likely. Maybe it's folded away under there.
