Will these automatically deploy the dual M-60s upon opening the Bestop Sunrider?
M60 is so yesterday. M240G and don't look back.

Got my set, disappointed that the second row handles are tight up against the second row roof panel release handles. So I can only make use of the front row handles.

Updated with photo's of the rear handle issue:

Rear handle installed loosely and you can see the handle is up against the roof release handle

What causes the screws in the rear to loosen?

Mine came last night, and I installed them this morning.

The rear does sit against the rear latch. However, it does not make them unusable. The latches still function normally, just hold the grab handle down.

These are o.k. handles, seem robust, but could be great if they would swing down further than 90 degrees where they hard stop. 45-75 degree movement down would be great.

Additionally, a small redesign of the rear handles would easily prevent the roof latch contact, but would add to the cost due to needing left and right specific handles.

If Mabett does a redesign with the above suggestions they can send me a set to review.
