Mopar Hardtop Reviews
Dont really care for soft top but could only find jeep in color i wanted in a soft top so getting hardtop
i'd like to offer a two-part review.
The ordering and delivery was flawless. Packaging was very secure, and all the parts were accounted for. Once we successfully installed it, the hardtop is great..
Now.. I would like to b***h about the instructions. They are perhaps passable if you do these installations on regular basis. For a first-time novice, no matter how technically handy you are, they were beyond terrible. For a purchase of over $3.5K, i would expect a set of instructions that are more than dot-matrix grayscale stick figure sketches, devoid of any color or text, with similarly grayscale arrows being the only guides. Instructions are very high level, leaving you having to do a lot of guess work. And..., they left out a crucial step that would instruct you to remove the native rails and brackets that come with the soft top vehicle. This step might be obvious had you done the soft-to-hardtop swap before, but is not intuitive for first-timers. What ends up happening is you lift the 140 lb hardtop and hoist it onto the body, and try to position it in place, only to realize that you are forcing two shoes on one foot. At this point you must either backtrack or have someone strong balance the top on the edge of the body while you remove the four (4) side rails, plus the two front brackets. Once you’ve cleared those 6 parts, the hardtop falls into place. But it would be nice to have a manual that actually thoroughly guides you thru the process, rather than give you 30%.
Questions
Here's a breakdown of the considerations and how it might be done:
Why it's Complicated:
Different Mounting Points and Hardware: The One-Touch Skytop and the 3-piece hardtop utilize different mounting mechanisms, latches, and potentially even structural elements on the Jeep's roll cage.
Wiring Differences: The Skytop has a motor and controls for the retractable roof, which are not present with a standard hardtop. Conversely, a hardtop often has wiring for a rear window defroster and wiper (if equipped), which the base Skytop might not have the necessary connections for.
Interior Trim: The header panel above the windshield and potentially other interior trim pieces are different between the two top types to accommodate their respective mechanisms and latches.
Body Panels (Minor): There might be subtle differences in the upper door surrounds or sport bar covers to ensure a proper seal with each top style.
Computer System: While less likely to be a major hurdle, there's a small chance the vehicle's computer system might have some configuration specific to the Skytop.
How it Might Be Done (Requires Significant Effort and Parts Sourcing):
Acquire a Complete 3-Piece Hardtop: You would need to source all three sections of the hardtop (two front panels and the rear shell) in the desired color.
Obtain Necessary Mounting Hardware: This includes all the bolts, latches (header latches, side latches), and potentially the receiver brackets that attach to the roll cage.
Replace the Header Panel: The header panel above the windshield will likely need to be swapped with one designed for the 3-piece hardtop latches. This involves removing interior trim and potentially dealing with wiring for the sun visors and any overhead lights/speakers.
Install Hardtop Mounting Brackets: You'll need to ensure the correct mounting points exist on your Jeep's roll cage or install the necessary brackets if they are different for the Skytop.
Wiring Considerations (Rear Defroster/Wiper):
If your Skytop-equipped Jeep did not come with the hardtop prep package (which includes the rear window wiring), you would need to run a new wiring harness to the rear of the Jeep to power the defroster and wiper (if you acquire a hardtop with these features). This is a significant undertaking.
If your Jeep did have the hardtop prep package, the necessary wiring might already be present, but you'd need to locate the correct connectors and ensure compatibility with the hardtop's harness.
Potential Interior Trim Adjustments: You might need to swap or modify some of the plastic trim pieces around the door surrounds and sport bar to ensure a proper fit and seal with the hardtop.
Remove Skytop Components: You'll need to carefully remove the Skytop assembly, including the motor, tracks, and wiring. This will likely leave some mounting points or holes that may need to be addressed for the hardtop installation. Is it Recommended?
Generally, this is not a recommended swap for most people due to the complexity, potential cost of parts, and the amount of labor involved.
