This might not be for everyone here but I have an 09 Unlimited I take the 2 freedom panels off then open the hatch window and open the lift gate then I sit with my feet hanging out of the back and do an overhand press almost directly above (this is the balance point) from there i shimmy my way until i can stand up and just walk off with the top still pressed over my head from there you can rig up 2 saw horses or whatever you want to place it on, I have even just squated it on the ground, the reinstlation is essentially the reverse but I have had a bit more difficulty doing that by myself. not the easiest but with no garage and only one person this is the best way I have found to do it

When you spray the inside with duplicolor to get rid of the white, grab a few extra cans and do the outside also. Then you don't have to worry about scratches when taking it off...

Just read the owners manual and follow the directions strictly. I've never had a leak on my hard top anywhere, not even in the high pressure car wash. Make sure the panels are lined up when reinstalling and toighten down the latches in the proper order. No leaks at all. Easy to do.
