I just installed a aftermarket exhaust tip on my DJ. If anyone out there has a base model or s/e model,Or for the Canadians out there, the CVP ( the Canada value package). I would strongly recommend a exhaust tip as it looks 10 times better.
I have had the same problems with my 2nd row. I don’t want to pull it too hard in case it breaks. It should be a normal steel bar under the seat if you ask me.
