You just have to buy a new top with a whole new top frame system. Can find it here: http://quadratec.com/Assets/Images/75584/75584-md.jpg
might be able to find one used on here somewhere for less though

I thought that i would buy the original joints (not for smoking ;-)) and the sleeves and install them in the existing roof frame system.

regards ludwig

I have the plastic slider sleeves above the driver and passenger door rails, does that mean its a sunrider or does the normal soft top have this too? I have a 2 door.

Check that top again. I am almost positive all unlimiteds came with the sunrider standard. If someone else can chime in for sure please do.

Somewhat off topic, but yesterday I saw someone else in a JK that only had the front seat section of the sunrider open. At first I shook my head in disappointment but then it got me thinking....Is there any harm caused if just the front section is folded back and the rest is in place?

Until then I have only seen the sunrider pulled back to have both rows of seats topless.

I'm not even sure how to do that since the hinge is right behind the front row seats.
