Default Help me out, soft top question

Hey Guys,

I bought an 09 JKU in late September used, great shape, love it. Anyway, it had the hard top on it already, and the soft top was in a box. The former owner had put it on one summer and that was it.

Since it was late September, I didn't take the hard top off to put the soft top on ,figured I'd wait until spring.

But now I'm worried that I may be missing a bolt or part. My last Wrangler was a TJ and the soft top was different, I'm no expert on the JK. I don't wanna try to put the soft top on in April and find I'm missing a part, I'd rather square it away now. Especially if said part is on backorder

So here's 3 pictures, do I have everything I need?


3 Windows with Retainer?

Door surrounds and bolts?

Umm... Where would they be? Mounted to the back of the roll bar?

Yup. Like kesmith8 said, make sure you have the 4 torx screws, 2 for each side and you'll be good. It'll be stiff and hard to fit at first but it'll get better. Especially when it warms up!

Found them in a small bag wrapped up in the top itself, thanks!

Yeah, I remember that from the TJ. Ewww, there is tree sap on this. Dude could have at least washed it before giving it to me.
