Default Question for you guys?

M looking at a hardtop from an 07 Jku, will it fit my 14 jku? It's the freedom edition with the t-tops. I just want to make sure before I buy it. Thanks for any help you can give me. I thought it will work, just wanting to make sure.

It should I installed a 2013 hardtop on my 2008. Best thing to do is drive over to the seller with the soft top removed and try it on it takes like 5 minutes to put it on not counting the bolts and nuts of course.

It'll fit but there may be some knobs that you might need to cut off. I know when I sold my 2011 to hard top to a fellow with a 2012 the knobs were in the wrong position. We cut them off (they are plastic) and it fit like a glove then. The knobs appear to be used to position the top while the bolts actually secure it.

I'm fairly certain that those guide pins were added in the 2011 refresh. The center footman loop is in a different position on the 2011+ as well so the center latch on the freedom panels may not work.
