If it is a brand new hard top, the new tops have alignment pins that fit in the 2011+ models. They need to be removed for the top to fit a 2007.

My '07 has alignment pins. Born in Feb 07. Did they change them somehow?

It all depends if they are just putting on the top or if they are also installing the harness for the wiper and hose for the wiper fluid.

So, I just purchased a 2007 unlimited on wednesday and I purchased a hardtop from the dealer. I pick up the top on Monday. The dealer is stating that the hardtop needs to be fitted to the jeep. Ive never heard of this; I thought you just could pop it on. I was wondering if you guys had any experience with buying a hardtop after getting your jk.

They're stating it takes 2 hours of labor to get it on the first time. Am I getting ripped off?
There is some prep when putting on a new hard top. The water seals around the door and the foam tape / pads near the front. I am thinking that is what they are talking about. If you don't get it fit and sealed right the first time it may leak and allow road noise in. There may be others that disagree with me on this but I would pay the money and have it done so if it leaks or you get a wind whistle you can have them fix it.

May I also recommend painting the interior of the hard top black (or anything other than white) before you install it!! I GUARANTEE that you'll be wishing you'd done it within the next few days!!
