Default What color is this? (Soft top)

What color soft top do I have?

I'm looking for tinted windows and on the Qtec website I see the Bestop Tinted Window Kit in Black Diamond.... but mine looks more gray, is it khaki diamond? Do they make tinted windows in my color?

Is yours a stock top? If so, it's black diamond. The black tops tend to fade a bit over time. There's a slate grey top, but i think they weren't available until 09 or 10, just like the khaki tops weren't offered in 07-08.

UPDATE: Just looked at my build sheet and it says:

VJXA - Black Easy Folding Soft Top

I gotta believe that's black diamond... should have checked it before posting. Thanks Big Red!

One other question if anyone sees it... shouldn't the tube for the hard top wiper fluid have a cap for when it's disconnected and I have the soft top on? My old TJ did, but my JK doesn't have anything to block the fluid.

You shouold see if you can order just the windows from one of the sponsering vendors or from Chrysler. It would be way cheaper for you.
I just put the soft top on our jeep this weekend.
I believe that the 2nd plastic piece will act as a cap. When I disconnected mine, there was nothing leaking out.
I could be wrong, happened once before

Yeah I do want to order just the windows, anyone have a part number for them?

What 2nd plastic piece are you talking about? Nothing leaks out when disconnecting, but if I spray fluid on the windshield wouldn't it come out the back tube as well?

There's a little rubber plug attached to the side of the rear washer fluid tube to plug it up when not using the Hardtop. The rear spray has a separate button than the front windshield spray, so you're all good. Plus, when the rear harness is disconnected from the Hardtop, I think it won't function either(jeep computer must know it's unplugged or something possibly).
