Wanted: Rear Window Retainer

[cannibal]

Not that keen on my chances, but does anyone have a spare rear window retainer bar for a TJ.
Mine came off on the highway, and was run over several times, and is now very crooked :(
Cant find one anywhere.

I do and i think i msged u before about it. However there are two different sizes as when i got my hardtop i found it didnt fit my grooves on the bac k of the TJ. And comparing my bar to someone elses they were a different thickness. Not sure how to check this.

I'll measure my grooves etc when I get home.
Hopefully the same size....sick of rear window flapping

Do you have a duster?
If not & if you think you'd like one - get one for the Hardtop model - as it includes the rail....
The rail can be purchased individually but proportionally it works out more xie....

Already got a duster mate.
Was looking around, can get one from the USA for $40USD new, or one from a jeep recycling specialist for $330 new....
Um gee....tough decision....$50AUD or $330 AUD...
Hopefully someone here has one though...

I measured the channel/clip/box, whatever you call it that the bar slots into each side of the tailgate.
Each side is approx 15mm deep, and 22mm high.
I contacted Jeep, and they seem to think there should be just one size?? But they aren't well known for their knowledge...
If yours is about the same size, and you want to sell it, let me know. Have just put my full soft top back on for winter two weeks ago, and sick of the flapping and draughts already!

Hopefully will remember and check tomorrow.
