Default OEM soft top question.

Looking at buying a soft top off Craig's List. Guy has 2010 JKU OEM Soft top with new hardware that is on 2012+. Jeeps. I am installing in 2013 JKU. Will I have any issues with install? Anyone happen to have list of hardware that I need to make sure it is complete?

Thanks in advance.

There should be four plastic frames for your doors, with screw knobs. A set of brackets for the rear roll cage then the top with frame.

Default my input

I just picked up 2013 premium top for my 2007. I have it installed but ran into a snag. I got all parts including door surrounds, but it seams the mount to the rear roll bar is different, probably because of the new spring assist? can someone post a pic of the mount for the softtop frame at the rear 45 degree roll bar piece. Its about halfway down the roll bar behind rear seat head rests. They must still be mounted in the jeep that I bought the top from? ANy help woud be appreciated.

I would say they are still there. When I bought mine, the jeep it was on was wrecked and the brackets were long gone. Just buy new ones. Make sure you buy the brackets that go with the year of the soft top.

Default bracket part numbers for 2013 spring assist top

these are the jeep part numbers for the brackets you need to attach the newer 2013 soft top to an older non spring assist style top frame.
left side bracket 68 163705AA
right side bracket 68 163704AB
