| Bought the jeep new from jeep dealer and it came with a factory installed 'skyslider'. we hardly ever use the skyslider and after a severe thunderstorm, we noticed when driving the jeep, there was a popping noise. the skyslider had bunched up and was not closing. took the jeep to our mechanic who advised that there was a 1 piece on the track that was broken and the part would cost approx. $1900.!!!. i called chrysler because the jeep is only 4 years old and this is a clear defect. chrysler advise me to take the jeep to a jeep dealership for diagnosis...a broken piece on the frame which needed to have the whole frame replaced at a cost of - $4k. four thousand dollars. the skyslider is defective on all 2008 jeep liberty models and this could cause a fatality. the skyslider is made of canvas and can pop off the track and fly off. i cross a bride daily and cannot drive more than 20mph or the roof starts to lift up. *tr | |||
