Default Will a 2008 JK 4dr Freedom Hardtop fit a 2012 4 dr unlimited

I have a 2012 JK 4dr I just purchased with the soft top on it. I have located a hardtop off of a 2008 4dr. Will it fit my 2012? May be a dum question however my luck it would not fit and I will be stuck with it. Thanks for your help

I know that a 2010 will fit a 2012. Don't think the '10 and '08 are different.

Yes they moved the latches to catch the footmans loop but I you have both 08 panels then it will work fine.

Top itself will fit however, the freedom panels will not latch in the center. 07, 08 + 09 will not fit 2010 ,11 + 12 and visa versa as the center loop on the windshield header had changed position starting in 2010.

Yes it will work but if yours came from the factory as a soft top then you need the hard top harness for the rear wiper, defrost. Other then that no mod to put it on.
