Default Hardtop

Can someone tell me if a hardtop from a '07 ( 4 door ) will fit an '08 ? They are different part #'s. Just wondering if anyone has an 07 top on a 08. I currently have the soft top on, what all will be needed to make the switch ? Thanks

yes they will fit. Simply take the soft top off, take the door surrounds off, and put the hard top. and bolt it down. 6 bolts total for the rear, nothing for the front two.

I know that the hardtop is different, but can an '09 fit a complete '07 hardtop and vice versa? Or did they change the bolt pattern/mounting fixtures/or some such? Not an issue for me, just curious if anyone knows .. for certain.
