Default Sun rider top?

I just purchased a used 2009 Wrangler X (my first Jeep). How can I tell if it has the sun rider top? Was it standard on all 2009 soft tops?

look at the side edges of the top, about a foot back from the front edge. Probably right over your shoulder while you're sitting in it. There will be a "sleeve" over the bow, and a little levered clip. Those are the sun rider feature.

Not sure it was standard, but they are pretty common.

The manual should have pictures of it, too. You can find a manual online, too.

when you fold the top back, you slide the (above mentioned collar/sleeve) back to uncover JUST the front cockpit area (ala sun roof).
