Reviews for Mopar 5166017AB Soft Top Folding Bow Knuckle with Sunrider for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK 2 Door
Correct part
Exactly what I needed took maybe 5 minutes to swap out
Perfect replacement. Easy to install
I have a Bestop soft top and I was worried that this would not work. Had to drill the appropriate holes in the new knuckle for the side screws but it fit into the pipe work perfectly and works great
Perfect fit. Took about 15 minutes, start to finish, to replace the broken one. Pricey for something that is made from plastic and very prone to breakage. (Not Quadratec's fault. Price-point is consistent across the board.) You'd think Mopar could cast these out of something a little stronger. Glad to know I can get them here and get them quickly when they break again.
Perfect fit very easy to install
The parts got here in just 2 days. No muss, no fuss.
A bit pricey but they restore the function of the folding sun roof. Knowing that they can break has made me more careful in how I flip the top back and with that additional care, hopefully they won't break again.
The price was a bit more than I had hoped, but it is the Mopar brand, so I guess it should surprise me.
It arrived on time with the package intact. The install was pretty simple and straightforward. It came with VERY sketchy instructions for the install, but since it is a simple replacement part I simply removed the old broken piece and replaced it with this one.
It did have to pre-drill a pilot hole for the retaining screw, but that too was simple.
4 stars instead of 5: needs a better install instruction and the pre-drill was unexpected
OEM part, but pretty expensive for what it is. I would like to see a glass fiber reinforced model, as this may last longer. All you need is a T20 and Philips #2 bit to remove the old, broken one to install this. Once installed, you need a 1/8" drill bit to drill the two holes for the screws to secure it, but this shouldn't take more than 15 minutes to complete. It's a good idea to replace in pairs as I learned this the hard way, 1 week apart.
