Awesome that it worked for you. Good info for those of us (me) who have (or will have) hardtops who encounter scratches.

Just an FYI, it's fiber glass

The easiest fix is to put in a 5 inch long arm lift kit with 37" goodyears on walker evans bead locks and swap out both front and rear bumpers for Smittybuilt XRC with tire carrier. No one will notice the scratch in the roof panel.
Just trying to help.

Glad you clarified because ya, I was thinking

. The top of my hard top is pretty scratched from branchs, but better than getting smacked in the face with them (thats always fun).

Sounds like now you need to paint the whole thing.
