Ok guys, I bought a Trektop today and installed it and I am curious on how I can tell if it is the old design or the new design? I have heard negative things about the old version.

Anyone know???

 

Lets see some pics..

 

New design has the rain "gutters" that are a flap of material over the doors.

Enjoy the wind noise. I do.

 

Also the new one has the tailgate bar instead of velcro across the tailgate.

 

Ah, nice! That's one of the reasons I didn't like the trektop. I didn't know there's a new version.

 

On your rear side windows you will have a manufacture date. That will narrow it down. If you have a cross-bar in the rear - it's the old design. If you have a tightening strap across the front seat area - it's the new design. If you don't have a strap that goes from the rear top seam, forward to the sound bar and tightens up the top - it's the new design. If it was manufactured prior to last fall, it's probably the old design.

 

love mine! dont care wat anyone says, its sick! rain flaps were a great upgrade from the old one! and its a soft top and most of all a jeepppp, doo enjoy the wind, i do, helps drowned out the g/f's complaining about the cost of the new shafts commin in!

 

Love mine too it's great .. sure it's noisy and sometimes i get a little wet but who cares I'm drving a cool as Jeep !! I just rip it off as soon as the weather is nice and throw it in a corner of the barn .. could care less about scratches etc on the windows since it was so cheap.

 

I think thats the point of getting a Trektop..
