Not cool Your the one on here braggin about getting the new header, some of us just wanna see it. Don't think your the only one to go in and push for problems on these JK's to be fixed " where you will be able to just walk in with the problem and have a method....." Cruise the forums and see for yourself how many people on here are looking out for theirself and others. I don't even have a prob with my header, but this could help alot of people out. The people you claim want to just walk in and already have their probs fixed probably don't even look at this forum. Don't wanna get in a pissin match, just was hopin for some pics,that's all.

Exactly, but the Bestop hardware is different, and the door frames are made of metal (not plastic like Mopar)

As long as you take it into the shop before the warranty is up and they are not able to resolve the issue it will be a preexisting issue prior to the expiration and they have to honor it regardless how many miles are on it..

Hey bud - sent you a PM - I'd be happy to do all the leg work if you'd be kind enough to tell me (us) the name and city of the dealer that installed the newly designed header. My dealer here in Scottsdale spent the day calling around; even called Corporate and got nowhere. Everyone they spoke to knows nothing of the new parts; not saying they don't exist - just no one knows anything. Can you at least provide me with your dealers name and city located? I'd be happy to call them and find-out the rest. Thanks in advance, bud!

I'm thinking if they show it to you or give the part number, then they'll have to kill you
