Forgot to mention that I never had an issue with my hardtop until I removed it and replaced the top. It didn't just start to leak. It only started to leak after I had removed all the panels and had re-installed them, obviously without reading the manual first. After reading the manual, I tried again to install them the correct way and then it sealed. I just make sure all the weather stripping around the edge isn't crimped or bent in the wrong way and then set the panels according to the directions and I haven't had any issues since. I would purchase another Jeep with the hardtop without hesitation. As a matter of fact, I'm trying to trade my 2006 Roush Mustang in on a '08 Jeep Rubicon. 0lllllll0...only in a Jeep!

I too experienced a small leak from the driver side front corner of the freedom top after removing and re installing them the first time. After a careful step by step reinstall I have not had a problem unless high pressure water is directed at the corners. Let's all remember this is a Jeep after all and the elements come with it. If the thought of getting the interior wet is unacceptable maybe the Liberty was the right choice. But then again; getting caught in the rain with the top and doors off is why you have drain plugs in the floor. Have fun out there and get a real Jeep:-)

Sorry! I should have read all the new posts before replying. I guess you're not such a girly man after all. Congratulations on your purchase. The Jeep that we have all paid good money for is not perfect. However, if you love jeeps this is the best yet. Enjoy the new ride and don't forget to wave:-)

B Pillar Rattle/Clunk..Whatever

Anyone else having that annoying rattle in the lower "B Pillars"? It's down low, and I can't find it. Almost as though it is inside the pillar itself....god forbid. I'm working on locating it but it's hard to drive and lay on the floor to listen. The dealership gave a very helpful "Hmmm", haven't heard of anything from chrysler yet, but that was no surprise. Would appreciate any feedback you have on this as my noise in quite loud.

I found the noise today. It is the striker assembly that holds the front door closed. The striker itself (located on the pillar(the silver thingy)) was adjusted at an angle and hitting the latch assembly when going over bumps. What I did to find it was take 1/4 piece of sponge, fold it over the striker, and close the door on it nice and snug. The noise vanished. So I pulled it back out and the noise returned. Now I will see if I can center the striker within the latch assy. and eliminate the noise all together. I know someone on here described the same noise, maybe they will find this and enjoy a rattle free ride too.

I have a rattle also. I have a 2007 Sahara Unlimited four door, and when I go over bumps/rough road I have this rattle. Sounds like its coming somewhere between the two left hand doors. Now if you could explain to me in easy to understand words (lol) where excatly you had the rattle. OK OK I'm a girl so, sorry but what the heck is the :pillar (the silver thingy)??? Sounds like something I would come up with! Any help in locating this annoying sound would be greatly appricated! It needs to be gone, NOW!

O.K., this is easy. Open the drivers door and look along the edge of the door (opposite of the door hinges). You will see a hole, sort of a < looking thing. That is the latch assembly. This is what allows your door to open when you push the door handle button, and stay closed when shut. If you start to close the door slowly and watch where the assembly get's close to the body you will see it lining up with a silver hook like structure. This silver hook like thing is the striker.This piece is adjustable and can be moved up, down, left, right, and everywhere in between to a small degree. If you get inside and watch closely, the striker should be dead center of the opening on the door. IF it is not, like mine, you will get this noise from the latch assembly bouncing on the striker every time you hit a bump. To adjust it can be tricky, so if your not mechanically inclined, I would take it to the dealer. If that is too far away, a decent body shop can do it easily, they do this sort of adjusting all the time, as where my experience comes from. If you need further help, email me at creativewun hotmail.com, I can try and help more. I have the same Jeep, all black and love it.

yeppers mine rattles too! I kept accusing my boyfriend of not putting the doors back on right...haha
If you live in the Gastonia/ Belmont North Carolina area then you can go to the chevy dealership(McKenny) they are in Belmont they are the best!!!
I love my four door and everyone looks at it.....I get a lot of attention!!!!
My biggest complaint is that the head rests are so hard and the backseat is very uncomfortable.(((glad I don't have to ride back there)))
check out my pics aball69aol.com
Love the black too!!!! But most of all I love my lift kit and my Nitto tires.....haha....who says girls can't have cool toys!
