Reviews for Vertically Driven Products 31700 Overhead Storage Console for 87-23 Jeep Wrangler YJ, TJ, JK, JL & Gladiator JT
I’ve noticed that in this weather the overhead storage began to bow downwards.
Fits well. Doors do not close or stay closed well.
I am less impressed than the other reviewers. This is molded plastic, and not very precisely molded at that. The entire thing was a bit warped, sagging in the middle. I had to add a reinforcing brace - a heavy duty zip tie attached to the front footman loop over the windshield, - to hold up the sagging center and straighten it out. The doors don't have any positive latching mechanism. The "hinges" are just molded-in nubs that pop into matching molded dimples. The doors/hatch covers don't snap closed completely, nor will they stay closed, which makes the thing look sloppy. I use it, and it is convenient, but it's the cheapest made accessory in my Jeep.
I have a 2dr JL and it definitely does not fit with a hardtop.
It's been backordered since July, and it just came today. I was pretty excited, but I don't think I'm going to be able to figure out a way to make it work. Like others have posted, thr latch for the freedom top hits it, so you can't even push it forward underneath them if you wanted to ...so then it's right above your head and looks pretty weird.
the brackets are stuffed inside for shipping. I had to use my Dremel to cut the interior lip to get the item out. There is a small crack on a seem in the top rear of the item, it can not be seen so I don't mind but it is there. The front of the left side isn't square so the left door doesn't open fully without being forced.
The item does look nice, just not manufactured well or I got a bad one off.
I had this on for a while, but now took it off…. it changes the airflow horribly and I wanted to be able to pull back my sunroof easily.
I really wanted to like this product as it is a great idea, however, the execution is awful. The doors didn't stay closed from day one and the plastic is some of the cheapest I've dealt with. I would love for them to do some more refining and put out an updated version.
Did. Not fit on my 2017 Wrangler (Oscar Mike Edition). It wouldn't let the roof close.
