Skyslider Fix?

[Dabitz]

Wow, I haven't been around for a while now. I was trying to find info whether or not the skyslider noise issue was ever fixed? Months ago I decided to be patient and wait for a fix. I still have a lot of noise. Any suggestions? Sorry if this has been answered. I didn't find any info about it.

im sorry but this is hilarious. When then the KK was about to come out there was a thread on what first how tos were going to be on the KK. the first one was "how to fix my broken sky roof"

There was a RRT(Rapid Response Transmittal) released just for this issue. It involved replacing the front bow and reprogramming the control module for the sky slider.

I'll do some research and see if I can find an answer for you.

Ya, when I saw them introduce that thing, I was all "cool idea, until it starts leaking".

Plus, anything that lets you into the vehicle with a box cutter is mucho bad for those of us living in urban high-car prowl areas.

Your gonna need more than a box cutter to get in through the sky slider.

dont have a pic, but last year we had a huge storm and i saw a tree branch fall through the skyslider inside a kk! and it wasnt even a big branch, i bet it was totaled because it was full of water too

I locked my keys inside mine and used a broom handle with a coat hanger taped on the end through the skyslider to pull the door handle open. Took no more than a couple of minutes and the alarm didn't go off.......love the feature, but if someone wants in your jeep, not much to stop them......
