I might be misunderstanding which ones, but the shorter flag bolts go to the rear.

That was the other thing, all 6 of my flag bolts were the same length? See picture below. The flag bolts are at the top right. There are only 5 pictured. I was missing heaps of fixings but got onto MoparAmerica and they sent the rest no questions asked.

The bottom picture shows what the flag bolts should look like. There is a 5 written next to them.

Hopefully MoparAmerica come to the party and send me the correct ones. Fingers crossed

Yeh right. The length was fine just the fact they keep spinning.

The short ones didn't originally have the tabs to stop them spinning.

(See spinxt youtube video) but in my kit, even the short flag bolts had tabs.

I just heard back from MoparAmerica, who have been awesome by the way, and they have said Mopar basically don't care and the rock rails are only for 11-13 GC and they are the right flag bolts. I have emailed them back asking that surely those bolts were produced at some stage and that the sills are exactly the same on 11-13 as 14-15 so what's the problem. Will see what comes back. I don't care if I have to pay for them in the end, I just want them so I can do the job properly.

Just received another kick in the pants. Was going through replacing my door handles for colour coded ones. Did the rears in about 25 minutes. Got stuck into the front LHS. Removed the window and chrome handle only to find I had been supplied LHD door handles not export ones even though I supplied my VIN when purchasing to be sure. So had to put it all back together. Have to wait and see what the US retailer who sold them to me will do and put up with 2 colour coded door handles and 2 chrome.
