Default Hard top fitment question???

Will a Hard top from any other year, 07-10, fit on an 11 or 12 JKU? Are they all interchangable? Thanks for the input

Maybe a dumb question, but there are no dumb questions (only dumb people who ask them right?!) haha... Anyways, will a 2010 4dr hardtop fit a 2009 4dr? Thanks in advance...

I just sold a 2011 hardtop to a person with a 2007 JKU.
The 2011 has an rear alignment pin you have to remove but yes it will fit. You might want to follow the procedures outline on here somewhere to move the center loop so the middle twist latch will catch.

Default Part two

You don't want to put a 2007 on a 2010 it will leak I tried this. Bought it from a dealer on a Friday and sold it for what I paid for it on Saturday leaked in 3 different spots. A guy with 2007 bought an it didn't leak one drop for him.

The 07-08 jeeps didnt use the footmans loop on windshield to hold down the center of ttops. 09 and up jeep relocated the loop to center of winshield and molded in a center latch that pulled down on both ttops at front to stop the dripping on the radio problem. 09 thru 12 interchangable if the 2010 & up rear centering pins are removed from top.

Hmmm my 07 hardtop is on my 11? I have noticed a leak at the b-pillar but my oem 11 softtop has the dreaded door seal leak. the dealership actually told me it would fit because i asked due to my 07 had a brand new softtop from an 10 model when i traded so i asked about the fitment. i would think if it wouldn't they would of wanted the hardtop over the soft.

So, to get more specific, I have a 12 and am considering buying a 10 hardtop. Will it fit? I have not had a hard top on a JK yet so i am not sure of the pin you are referring to, a picture would be great if anyone has the time. Thanks, I appreciate all the responses
