Default Soft Top Help!
I have a 2008 JK and my soft top is super loud and slightly ripped. I found someone on craigslist that is selling a 2016 soft top. He says it comes with no hardware and no windows. I wanted to know if my windows will match/ fit to the 2016 top, and if my hardware will work with the 2016 top. Any advice will help. Thanks!

The door surrounds are different. I think the windows are also different sized, but I am not sure.

Funny, I was going to inquire if an 07-08 soft top would fit on a '15 without modification.

windows and door surrounds are not compatible.

side windows might be, but IDK for sure.

Ok thank you! What would be the earliest year that is compatible with the '15 JKU?

I have a 2012 soft top on my 2007. You'll need to buy the newer soft top together with the plastic door surrounds.
