Product Description

The OMIX 13510.32 is a direct-fit OE-style replacement soft top tailgate bar for the 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ and 2004-2006 Wrangler Unlimited LJ. The tailgate bar is the horizontal bar that spans the bottom edge of the soft top's rear window opening, sealing against the top of the tailgate when closed. Over time this bar can bend, crack, or lose its foam gasket - leading to wind noise, water leaks into the cargo area, and rear window fitment issues.

This replacement bar slides directly onto the existing soft top rear window tubing and secures at each end using the factory OE body corner brackets. The integrated foam rubber gasket provides a tight contact seal against the tailgate surface. Compatible with OE Jeep soft tops and OE-style aftermarket tops including Smittybilt constructions. Tailgate bar retainer brackets (OMIX 13510.30 right / 13510.31 left) are sold separately. Backed by OMIX's Limited 5-Year Manufacturer's Warranty.
