Default Interchangeable Soft Top?
I have a 4D 2011 hardtop. Is there a soft top that is reliable and doesn't leak that I can run in the summer months so I don't have to keep guessing if its going to rain or not.

Easy install. I just bought a 2011 OEM Top of craigslist and installed it myself in about 30 min. It does require 2 people when first attaching the top to the back roll bar...

Ok, How much does it really rain in Glendale, less than 8in annually? LOL. Check your carpet's i bet you have a leak or two.

All soft tops leak a little, but most of the time you wont notice and your jeep is made for the water.

I have had 4 Jeep's and went through several new top's and never need 2 people to put on a soft top, well other than removing the heavy a$$ hard top first.

Which one you have? Also. What about the door surrounds? Do they come on and off? Do they mess up the paint?
