Ok, being this is my first Wrangler I am not very used to soft tops. Anyway, I gathered the parts and installed it on my own. After the install, I noticed the areas above the doors are really loud and don't seem right. When I see other soft top JKs they don't have this "gap" like I do. When I got my tank replaced today the guy at the dealer said it goes into a track on the surrounds...but I don't see how. Any help is appreciated! BTW: this is the Mopar factory top using Bestop surrounds.

Thanks!

What model jeep if nottop that came on it what model is the top from? 2007-09 It goes over the outside then Tucks into the track. Gotta stretch like the dickins! If it's 10-12 it has a cable system that lays tight on top of the surrounds.

Looks like the surrounds are not correct, my factory ones look different than yours.

It's an 08 top and my Jeep is an 08. There are flaps on the sides. They must stretch out? Seems like itd be difficult. Bestop said these will work with factory tops.

The top has a lip on it, you have to wrap it around the surrounds and it tucks in underneath. Although, those surrounds look weird. Could you open the door and take a pic of it?

I'll post a surround pic when I get back home.

I have no idea why there would be a front gap...I know it doesn't leak water. Been washed and rained on with no water inside.

That's the only way they'll go in Ludski. Even checked the Bestop instructions that came with the pieces.

Looks like you got the surrounds for the cable style top and you have the older style top. What years did the Bestop say they would fit?

Just says 2007-Current
