ok that was hell putting the sunrider top back up on my 2 door. any tips or advice for a loner doing this by herself? the extra flat metal pieces that operate the sunrider add extra weight when you try to lift this thing just over the back seat..my old 08 top went up and down no problem doing it alone.

useful suggestions?

 

When I take my top down or put it up, open the tail gate and hop up!

 

thats a good idea! or maybe just getting in the backseat lift it enough to the front...im going to try both..or maybe i should lift weights lol

 

I must have an older style of sunrider -- aside from the frame, it has plastic parts up front.

But anyway -- Because the sunrider section is so "flimsy", I lift the entire top up using the rear main bar - so that the entire soft top is basically directly up over the jeep - then let each half fall in their respective locations, front forward - rear back down.

It's not to bad lifting the entire top. Because the rear main bar is nice and sturdy, you can lift it from the rear of the Jeep and walk it forward. (You don't have to stand in one spot and strong arm it up - walk it up like you would a ladder).

Not sure if that helps...

 

Yup thats what I do,

 

Just hop in the back and pull it up over you. Then jump out from either the tailgate area or somewhere in the rear.

 

I just climb in an pull it over me

 

Thats what I'll do..sounds like a good option. Thanks for the help. Its going to rain for a few days here..top will remain up. Now i can go find leaks..hope i don't lol
