Default Anyone use these?

http://www.quadratec.com/products/13122_1000.htm

Warrior Products Hard Top Quick Release Kit
For 07-12 Jeep® Wrangler JK & Wrangler Unlimited JK

$32.99

Replaces the 6 TORX bolts along the tub rail that hold the hardtop onto the Jeep. These quick release knobs allow you to easily prepare your hardtop for removal without tools. Washers are also included to help spread the load of the bolt to reduce the risk of cracking the top from over tightening. Note: Unlimited has an additional 2 bolts underneath the freedom top panels.


Looks like a great idea to speed up take of and put on.

I have these on my hardtop. Doesn't save that much time, but it does help. It does make it easier to keep track of them. Between these and the hardtop hoist, it takes me longer to take the doors off than to remove the top.

I take off/put on my hardtop twice a year so I would not want these, but I guess for those with just the hardtop

Honestly don't see the point. It takes 2 seconds to remove the bolts anyways...
