Default How much snow

So my jk had its first snow. I only have a soft top. How much snow can the top take. I kept brushing it off every 3 or 4 inches.

I only have the soft top and it can handle quite a bit of snow. I've never had a problem even with a giant snowstorm last year.

I had a TJ before my JK and both have had 1.5+ feet of snow on the top with no issues. It's not going anywhere.

The only problem I had with snow on the top is that the heavier it is the more it will stretch and make more highway noise. Not necessarily a problem if you have a girlfriend that talks too much.

2+ feet, no problems. And that's the heavy wet kind of snow we get here on the east coast, not that nice light powdery stuff they get out west.

Just don't use an ice scraper on the plastic windows.
