Reviews for Smittybilt 5665101 Roll Bar Padding Cover Kit with Molle Pouch Attachments for 97-02 Jeep Wrangler TJ
Love it!
Look great
Good product of the quality you would expect from Smittybilt. However the Molle attachments are only good for very small accessories. There's just no really convenient spot or room on your roll bar for most Molle gear. But overall a good replacement covering. Looks good.
Impoved look and function
Good product, well made. Would have been nice if the fabric went all the way down to the bottom of the rear roll bar. Overall good product.
The item does NOT properly fit the sport/roll bars for a 1998 Jeep Wrangler SE.
The quality of the material is definitely nice, but the factory-made holes for stock hardware/drill holes does not line up. The main piece which covers the overhead bar and driver side and passenger side vertical bars have pre-cut holes for the front seatbelts and the soft top hardware mounts, but they come nowhere near to where the actual placement of these items on the vehicle are. This means 1.) I would have had to cut new holes for the actual items to be mounted and 2.) the factory holes would be visible and would have no purpose. Additionally, there are no factory-cut holes for the soundbar mounts, which again would require one to cut their own - in this case into the molle-webbing material.
I am in the process of returning them to Quadratec right now.
well i love the look and fit BUT only after I had to buy the proper tamper torx bit, and new windshield cowl seal. the instructions say there is a zipper to install the padding from the center loop to the windshield but there is not, it has to slip on which means the windshield has to be dropped with the proper tools
Material seems to be decent quality BUT there are some issues. Instructions are not that good. They make no mention of the fact that you must take off the windshield support bars. Fitment is horrible! There are no precut holes for the speaker bar as stated in the instructions. Trying to get the speaker bar back on over top of the padding is next to impossible. And the cutouts for the door surrounds are at least in inch off and had to be cut to fit. Not satisfied at all.
