I know there are aftermarket options. I'm looking at these OEM pads for my 97.

Is it possible to install these without cutting them open and stitching them closed? I can't see how, especially at the corners circled in the screenshot below. I don't see a zipper, but can't compare to my own because I am missing this piece on mine.

I removed mine (97 4.0) this past May, and painted them with a fabric paint. Pretty pleased with the outcome. Had the top off all summer and did not notice any fading. They all zipped off, and then I washed, dried and painted. *edit - to remove the two above the door you have to remove the bar from the windshield frame.
As far as your picture with the circled corners, it appears different than mine. Maybe you do not have a sound bar? And in that case, not sure how you get them off.

Ok so there are in fact zippers on all, and they're just well-hidden in this pic I have.
 
Can anyone recommend where I can order new rollbar zippered covers and the padding too?

I prefer the zippered covers over the Velcro covers. I have a 2014 2 DR Wrangler Sport

Welcome to the Forum. Unfortunately yours is a Wrangler JK, not a Wrangler TJ. This forum is only for the TJ, but there is another forum for the JK.
