I got it from Quadratec (where I buy absolutely everything). Here a link and photo (from the website)...... It attaches with double sided tape and holds really well.

Default Trektop with tailgate bar

I've been meaning to post pics of the supertop tailgate bar with the trektop so here goes. You just pull off the rubber weatherstripping and stick the velcro.





You can get it wrinkle free if you try, this pic not so much.

I just put mine on, and i broke one of the rear window zipper things (the part that slides up and down) but luckily I found a life jacket that had a simlier size zipper so i took it off and put it on the back window and it worked!

Any chance one of you other Tecktop owners can take a closer picture of the front header part inside and out? mine looks like it will not keep water out, it doesn't go up to the front of the windshield, it has about 1/2" or so from the metal of the windshield, so the rubber channel is showing and i can stick my finer under it

maybe i did something wrong with putting it together?

Sweet rig Dave!!!

Man the cargo nack is going to rock on your JK!

I have to push mine toward the windshield while tightening the screws. I did have a little leak on the drivers side, but i fixed it with some camper shell weatherstriping from the local parts store. I just stuck the foam weatherstripping to the top header where it met the windshield. Works great........no leaks.

did you have to undo the rest of the top to push the header forward? mine won't go any further forward with the rest of the top attached. Also do you have the angled metal bars that go on the bottom side of the mount? is there a specific way the angled bar goes? I have with with the angle part facing down (towards the knob of the screw) but i'm wondering if that is wrong? My brackets do not match the ones in the directions.

I would disconnect the rest of the top and tighten the front headliner down first. That's the way I did it and mine is very snug up front, no leaks at all. That should work for you.
