Post Trektop Questions

Hey guys,

Ive been looking around at those of you who have the original Trektop, not the NX. I like the look of the original better but have some questions that hopefully some 2DR guys can clear up.

Can you store it in your jeep easily when its down? (2nd row seats removed)
Does it roll down into the back like the OEM one?
Leaks?
Louder/softer?

Any other pros/cons you could offer would help alot before I decide on this, Thanks!

I had a 2 door Trektop on my 2010. I'm looking to sell it if you are near 13790.

You can fit it in the the removed Trektop in the back with the rear seat removed. It's about the size of a long rolled up tent.

The Trektop does not roll down the back like the OEM. The cab area rolls back to open the sound bar (sunrider) and the rear window is removable. That is about it. Otherwise, you are taking the top completely off. It's not difficult to do with 2 people, but not as easy as putting down an OEM top.

No leaks.

About as loud as OEM top, possibly quieter. Top will flap with windows open (no ceter bar).

Rear window is a PIA. When top flaps, it can hit you in the head (if you have a tall upper body).

The Trektop looks great, but I found OEM top to be more functional.

If you leave it off for long periods of time, you should be fine. The Trektop is easier to completely remove than the Trektop NX. Just make sure you have an emergency top with you!
