Is it a premium or a standard soft top? My 2013 is a premium and was tougher than my 08 for sure - its doable, but more of a struggle than I remember.

I have the 13 premium top but I don't do the sunrider thing. I always unhook the rear corners on mine before I latch the front. Seems to help.

Put top up and just hook the front (dont close completely) then put your rear corners in then latch front

Best (and only for some) way to do it. Keeps enough tension on it so that the front half isn't folding back on you and keeps it forward enough to close once the back is all squared away!
