My Wrangler recently got broken into and I am putting a claim in with insurance. When I get a quote for the replacement of the (soft) top, I will probably get a good amount of money for a top. I have been looking at both hard and soft tops online and there is a large difference in cost. I also see quite a difference when it comes to just soft tops. Why is there such a difference in price for one soft top to another? What should I look for? Also, if anyone can show me some good deals on tops, I would appreciate it. 6/22/2007 12:09:46 PM |

If'n I had one, I'd probably just ball up the soft top and throw it in the garbage. First and best mod. 6/22/2007 12:24:15 PM |

best advise: find a good used replacement on craigslist, at least 1 per week show up. If you never put the top down, get a different vehicle. I've had a wrangler for about 3 months now and the top has only been up on 2 occasions. 6/22/2007 12:32:02 PM |

the difference in price comes a difference in quality. the fit, stitching, windows, etc.
tawaitt has the right idea, factory tops aren't hard to find in lightly used condition for alot cheaper than new. 6/22/2007 12:34:37 PM |

hard tops are more exspensive and a pain to take on/off all the time. they're nice for winter, but imo it's not enough of a difference to spend the money on one. especially with the crazy weather we have around here, you might put the top on then we get a week of top down weather in december... 6/22/2007 12:41:47 PM |

pick up a quadratec magazine if you are looking for different brands/styles and you want it new.
But if your looking used, hit up craigslist or a bargain trader. 6/22/2007 12:47:58 PM |
