Default Soft Top tailgate parts

I have a 99 Wrangler that came with a hardtop, and had a sun bonnet and
tonneau cover thrown in. Well I found out that I was missing parts that
I needed to install the cover and bonnet. I appear to have the
windshield channel, and the channel that sits right below the rear
seat. I don't appear to have door surrounds (which I just recently
ordered off of ebay) and the hardware which holds the tonneau cover in
back (tailgate). Since I have never owned a jeep or a soft top, is
there anyone that can tell me what I need to complete this installation
(i.e. tailgate stuff) and where I might get the tailgate parts (have
looked high and low to no avail). Thanks for any help out there,

New Jeep owner and loving it!

It's great that you are loving your new Jeep! Congrats
I don't know how much yours might be like mine but if it is there is a
padded rail that goes in the back that locks into the channels.
you can kind of see ont in the lower left of this iamge

The dealership is always a great place to ask questions!

Oh! Add your Jeep to the list!

Default Soft Top tailgate parts

I now have the door surrounds, but this tailgate channel and retaining
clips are rare. I've searched ebay, but the kits there all come with
the covers that I can tell. Still would appreciate anyone out there
that might have a resource for finding just this part. Apparently it is
part of a soft top kit which my vehicle has never had (the place where
the retaining clips go has dimples for screw holes as opposed to the
actual holes, indicating it was never installed).
