Just drill a hole next to where it was in the plastic trim piece that it was in and reinstall after you trim around the cage bars.

Just zip tie it to the cage and swear that next weekend you'll cut and reinstall the the factory trim…for 2+ years. :yup:

Thanks for pics guys. Cage is coming up soon. Hoping to get some help from 10frank9 and do the install. This thread has been very helpful as well.

Are any of you that have hard tops having to trim you freedom panels where the top cross bar knuckles are? If so can you post pics?
Also, I just watched the Rock Hard install video and it shows that they trimmed the dash. Is this something you guys have had to do?
Don't mind doing it but would rather not if not needed.

I didn't have to trim the hard top nor the dash. I do know of some people that have to though.

I didn't have to trim my dash but I have a '13. I did have to trim my hard top panels a bit. You can see the photos I posted in my thread here:

I wished they had this earlier. Finally got my cage all installed. Biggest problem I had was the 3 holes in the A post. When the side plates were hung, the edge with the holes in it did not hang straight up and down (didn't see that to begin with). There was a slight angle that caused the problems. Had to message the holes a bit to get everything to line up. Still need to trim the plastic as I want to re-install them. Hoping to pull it out next week and send to powder coat. Only issue so far was the wife went to get in on the passenger side and managed to knock her head into the grab handle. Left a nice goose egg for a day or two. Now she makes sure to grab the handle when getting in so we don't have a repeat. Will post up photos once its back from powder coat. Going to have it coated granny smith green w/clear to match my sliders.

Wow. That looks like a great video. Should not be many questions after that.

Looking really nice. I am hoping to get my cage back from powder coating tomorrow and get it installed ASAP. I will post up pictures when install is complete. I have a white JK with black interior. I decided to go with white paint to contrast. I hope that it turns out the way I pictured it.
