Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

[lenny6753]

I solved my issue. I loosened everything and then retightened all the bolts. I believe my front passenger side near the corner slowly loosened over time, thousands of miles, and then all the flexing from doing the New Mexico BDR. I believe it caused a small gap in the weatherstripping which let water in. I’ve tested it now in heavy rains and with a water hose and no leaks. Going forward I think I will check every six months or so. Thanks for the suggestion.

Does anyone remember the name/brand of the black round plastic thing Ursa Minor use to pass solar panel cables through the roof?

I actually bought one previously, and I can't quite remember what it's called & where I got it.

Thanks!

I don't know if this is the same one but looks well made...skip to 5:42.

I have a vague memory of seeing the solar gland pass through they used, not a traditional RV style. Figure with UM’s history in boats look at the marine side for cable clam. From what I remember it looked something like the Blue Sea Systems 1007 Side Entry CableClam.

In a similar situation looking for a low profile solution but curious if Ursa Minor used two of these?
Thanks, Tom

Ursa mounted two flexible solar panels on mine (at my request) and they two MC4 joiners up on the exterior of the roof, so they only needed to run two cables inside (+ and -). The two cables run through one cableclam (assuming that's the exact brand/model they use). It sure looks the same.

Thanks Dan, It just looks like that only allows a single wire/cable. I have the same dual flexible panel with the joiners so will try to confirm that two cables fit.

I had a good look at mine this morning.
Both cables run into one, and if it's not a Blue Sea Systems 1007 Side Entry CableClam, it is exceptionally, exceptionally the same to look at.

Hey everyone, I just re-listed my Ursa Minor for the JKU over in classified under Campers. It's in perfect condition and I have only used a handful of times. I will also consider selling both the Jeep Rubicon and the Ursa Minor as a package. The Jeep is loaded out and ready for expedition, I just can't find the time.

Sorry everyone, the plot gets deeper (thicker).

I got all the snow off and climbed up to really see mine. The thing the cables pass through is round, black and has three little screws.
It's clearly NOT a Blue Sea Systems 1007 Side Entry CableClam, but it is very similar.

It has a logo, that if I had to guess is a letter "B" that is mind of kind of diagonal stripes, if that makes sense.

I'll keep digging and try to find out exactly what it is.
