Hardtop to Softtop Conversion Help

[CraigM]

Hey all,

I’m about to take off my hardtop for the first time and install the softtop.
Pretty sure I have all the correct hardware now to do so.
I am trying to find a video or some sort of directions on how and where to put all these brackets.
Does anyone have a video or step by step with photos that could help me?
TIA, very much appreciate any and all help.

Also a word of encouragement.

The softtop swap is a bit tedious the first time. Take the time to get all the brackets lined up. And get a buddy - that soft top is awkward to carry around, and it's easy to ding the crap out of your C-pillars. It's not that it's overly heavy, it's just awkward as all get out, and you will probably have to set it and pull it a few times to get the bracket aligned right.

Then, once you have all the brackets set and it opens and closes well - you never have to do that part again.

It's just 6 bolts in the back that hold the top on to remove or install it. It's still a bit awkward to handle, but it's not difficult. Two people can swap between the hard and soft top in an easy hour and a half.

It's super nice to have in the summer, and riding around Safari mode is my favorite when the weather is nice.
