Is there anything in particular I need to know about installing the soft top for the first time? I finally got my hard top off of my 2010 4-door JK and the soft top is still in its factory seal. Any help appreciated. Rain suddenly came to Southern CA and now I gotta get that damn thing on.

 

to be clear, i see a lot of videos regarding putting the soft top up and down, but nothing regarding the first install where the top is not attached to anything other than the rear rollbars. thnx

 

I figured it out on my own. Didn't take too long. First put the softop in place in the back by the roll bars. Use a little "persuasion"to get the flat parts with the 2 holes aligned where the padding on the roll bar velcro's together. Take out the torx screws in the roll bar and use them to attach the softtop to the roll bars. Then install the plastic trim pieces (L shaped and straight) around the rear door and over the top of the front doors. They only fit one way. Screw them down with the provided screws (long ones go front and rear short one in the middle). Then just put the top up as per the videos you've found.

Hope that makes sense lol

 

Torx T20 screw driver so you can put the brackets on the rear roll bar, then all you need is about an half hour and your golden

 

I found the below link and got the owner's manual that actual tells you how to install the pivot brackets and knuckles because the cd
and pamphlet that come with the jeep start with that stuff already installed.
