Sun Rider Question
 
Got the soft top on last weekend. Damn was that a P.I.T.A. Question is when the sunrider is back the top droops down into the face of the back seat passengers, How do I prevent this?

The other problem I am having is that the thing is so hard to latch. I figure that is because the fabric is still new.

Thanks

Sounds like your top isnt fully fastened right, there are two "clips" one on either side, on the door surrounds. Make sure those are engaged, also when your putting the whole top back up you know you do the front up first right, then pull the back tight and latch it under the catch on the tub. Try checkin for the clips on the surrounds and let me know what u find

Sounds like the soft top isnt being folded correctly. i had the same issue until i realized i needed to fold it more

First Pic is INCORRECT WAY

can you do the sunrider with all stock soft tops? on is that a newer model only thing?

I believe it can be done all on JKs. I know my 2009 soft top can do it

Since you live right down the street.... By June you soft top will be stretched and loose enough you will not be struggling with it anymore. Mine was the same way. Now the thing just collapses on itself with no effort and is a breeze to put back up.

Thankyou. Yeah was just letting the thing flop back and not folding it back. Much appreciated.

Rosamond, you are just down the road. We go and play in the hills with the Jeep and shoot over there
