Default Two top question...

When the softtop and hardtop are both installed, is there any way to have the softtop raised up a bit so not to get in the way of the back gate and hardtop rear window?

Why not just remove the soft top? It's just 4 screws and it gives you so much more room.

Both tops are installed for shipping purposes only. You are supposed to remove one and run the other.

I had no idea that they could both be on at once. is the back "glass" supposed to be removed when you take the soft top down? i remove the sides but have been leaving the back in.

Remove the soft top if your hard top is on.

I take the back window off of my soft top when it's down, but I'm anal about my Jeep.

That is correct, read it when I took it home the first day. Jeep had labels on the soft top.Do not operate with soft top, transportation only

I bought my Jeep as a Dealer Demo that had 180 miles on it. It had the dual top with the soft top installed inside the hard top. The corners of the soft top boot were worn through, and the soft top itself had a worn spot on each side and was damaged. The dealer ended up replacing the soft top.
