So... I have the soft top on my JKU. Its sunny out and I just want to use the sunrider portion of it. I unlatch the front and fold the top back. But when I go down the road, the middle dips down on the passengers in the rear seats and creates a shallow V in the middle. It also buffets quite a bit. Is it supposed to be this shitty? Or am I doing something wrong. it seems like a relatively simple process.

 

There should be weak points in the plastic you had to pop out from the door jambs once you find those the top folds back like a accordian it helps me to have someone on the other side...on my 2d my sunrider makes a z shape when folded back...hope that helps

 

Its not being folded correctly. make sure its folded as shown in the first pic, not in the second pic


Edit: Also heres a video. hope it helps (watch at 29 seconds in to see how to fold top correctly)

I swear I am doing it like the video, but I have not seen those plastic clips the pull out from the side. I do see the difference in your 2 pictures ( thank you very much) and I will give that another try.


Thanks again.

 

Your welcome. Dont worry about the plastic clips, they changed the soft top design in 2010

 

Your welcome. Dont worry about the plastic clips, they removed that step when the 2010s came out
The new tops have a tension spring instead
