I just installed my dual top Jtops. I believe this piece will go under all bimini hardware.
My concern is how this mounts to the hardtop bracket. If this raises that bracket , along with the JTop top, then I’ll have to pass.
This appears to be a mid/late ‘23 change. If you hit unlock and leave them alone, all windows will go up on their own. Mine does as 8/11/23 blend date. Caught me off gaurd at first as my ‘21 did not do this, but it is a welcomed fix.
No, you don't. It's tedious unless you are fine with an uneven surface of glue. The actual liner is removed in a few seconds of strong pulling. The chunks and globs of glue removed from just 1 front section would overflow 2 shot glasses.
The last I heard, Detroit teamsters are standing with UAW workers and are refusing to deliver vehicles from the affected plants. I hope this changes soon. Both dealerships I’ve talked to lately say that it’s been ages since they got one in. Mine was the second to last shipment that they got.
For anyone thinking about removing the factory headliner- it’s a complete pain in the ass. Adhesive residue everywhere. Invest in a plastic scraper and a bottle of Goo Gone. Let it soak in before scraping.
I plan to go a slightly different route.
Ford has a piece of plastic trail armor to cover the rocker panels that works fantastic at covering the pinch weld holes and protecting against dirt/rocks. You take the steps off quickly, stick it on, and then put the steps back on.
If viewing your Window Sticker helps the anxiety, here is the base of the link, just add your VIN directly at the end, no other changes....

Every lot is different, but since the VID changed the world, most lots will not allow for direct pick up. Mine would not (I tried with 2 different dealers on 3 different vehicles). I wish you the best of luck in getting it home.
