Thanks Quinn. Funny you should mention that about the top, as in the group there was a service writer for a local Jeep dealer.

His take was the complete opposite. He said the reason my top shifted like that is that it was not tight enough, and that I was lucky I didn't crack the upper right corner. He mentioned to crank it down as tight as possible or else I would be buying a new top soon.

Seems to be a common trait among dealerships, when in doubt, torque the crap out of everything. I had my cat replaced at my local dealer and the idiot who did the job must have torqued my tranny skid to 1 million ft. lbs. The bolts were so tight, I broke 2 of my sockets and 1 of Blaine's, before Blaine finally had to break out the torch to get the remaining bolts off.
