Thank you! I have a 2008 Unlimited X and the 2 simple steps on your video
helped me so much. I never used the front clamps to secure the top and open
the back and fold it neatly. ο»Ώ

Jim Walczak says:

It’s summer – it’s the weekend – why not drop the top on that Jeep and have
some fun! Here’s a simple step by step video if you’re nervous about itο»Ώ

Rachel Striby says:

ahh thanx!!!! this video helped ^-^ <3

TheFunTimesGuide says:

@NAJones711 This is the stock top on our 2004 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. The
part that folds back on top is called the Sunrider. It’s built into the
soft-top itself.

TheFunTimesGuide says:

@peterDiglin Absolutely! We do that all the time πŸ˜€ It’s no problem to
open the sunrider part of the roof and leave the windows in.

@TheFunTimesGuide ’98 is a TJ

Jacob Morales says:

You sound extra proud of yourself lol. Good job.

Kinghawk7 says:

what year jeepis that? I like it. i want my first car to be something like
this! lol.

TheFunTimesGuide says:

@6950062 To each his own… If you live your life with the Jeep top always
on though, you’re not getting the full experience of owning a Jeep! Our
Jeep top spends most of the summer months down, and it’s 6 years old now.
No cracks. Jeeping is what you want it to be. I want it to be top down most
of the time πŸ˜€

Michael Mason says:

@TheFunTimesGuide a 1998 jeep is a tj….

Jim Walczak says:

In most ways the same – in some ways different. Obviously the CJ doesn’t
have the that first ‘flip’ or the “pin” to release at the top that the
unlimited has. But otherwise – the rest should be pretty much the same.
Unzip windows – release at latch behind visor, fold back and away you go.

Derby Ref says:

My neighbor recomended not taking the top down because hers started
cracking. She said it was better to leave it alone

regioenatlanta2010 says:

Just got my jeep thanks for the advice on this video

turbotechnique says:

@TheFunTimesGuide No. 97′-2006 are TJ’s. No big deal though.

timmothy1971 says:

SUCCESS!!!! tyvm for this video.

TheFunTimesGuide says:

We love it too! (…but all Wranglers are great.)

TheFunTimesGuide says:

@ChiefsFan581 I would love to see pictures of your Ruby. Did it start life
as a hard top?

TheFawaz16 says:

Then where do u put the side windows?

TheFunTimesGuide says:

Glad you found the video helpful. Enjoy your new Jeep!!! πŸ˜€

metalirocz28 says:

i had the hardest time just trying to install my soft top last summer but i
think thats because i was missing small parts im not really sure

Michael Gotwalt says:

Can u do the sunrider for a 05

Peter Diglin says:

I have a 2003 model, can i open up the sunrider part of the roof and leave
the windows in? or will it act like a parachute?

HIllCarver says:

Can you just fold the side windows up on the roof like the side flaps? My
zippers are messed up on my 2000.. I dont want to replace them if i can
still take the top off.. but i cant get the drip retainers above the doors
off.. they seem to be tight

Jim Walczak says:

@ChiludoToTheMax what did I miss? Both zippers need to slide to the left
and everything will fall right out. Same when you put it back on – start
with both zippers on the left

NAJones711 says:

Is this the stock soft top or does it require an aftermarket top to fold
back and rest like that?

TheJeepguycj5 says:

i have a 1979 jeep cj5 is the wrangler top removal the same as the cj top i
know alot about jeeps but this i dont :/ but i cant find any video on jeep
cj tops its alllllllll wrangler

Jesusballs11 says:

I have an 03 wrangler but i put subwoofers in the back is there another
place I can put the top cause the subs take up the whole back part

Kriste Hansen says:

How do you take off the soft top windows?!?!? I have a 2002 jeep wranger
all soft top and I have no idea how to take off the plastic windows!

CammieGee says:

Good intstructional video. I’m planning to buy a Wrangler but was wondering
how easy the soft top is to operate.

AfflictedJedidiah says:

I have a 1970 CJ5, and I got the top off, but I can’t get it back on! Do
you have a video you could make, or direct me to one that could help me
out? Thanks!

fimportsv8 says:

@TheFunTimesGuide the yjs are from 87-95

TheJeepguycj5 says:

i have a 1979 jeep cj5 is the wrangler top removal the same as the cj top i
know alot about jeeps but this i dont :/

Jim Walczak says:

Hey Ella: I don’t see why that wouldn’t work. I’d give it a try. It might
be a little bulky – but again, I’d give it a try before leaving the top up.
Have a great weekend

Andres Merjil says:

Do you have a video for hard tops?

TheFunTimesGuide says:

@FSM2786 Anything with the SunRider (that half top) will have the pins

Misiekgren says:

im so envious of your extended wheelbase wrangler… -_-

Jim Walczak says:

@turbotechnique Thanks for the heads up correction. I guess I just stepped
back into the 80’s – I miss my YJ

ChiefsFan581 says:

Do all Jeeps have those pins? I’ve taken My top off a few times and never
came across a pin. it’s an 05 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon

Peter Diglin says:

cool thanks

ChiludoToTheMax says:

How come u didn’t show what you did with the rear window? Just wondering
πŸ™ !!!!!!!

Ella Beach says:

my jeep is a 98 also but i have a few teeth missing on my back window
zipper can the window be folded in on itself like a convertable window so i
can put my top down?

TheFunTimesGuide says:

@turbotechnique a ’98 would be a YJ – I think these pins are new to TJ

turbotechnique says:

@ChiefsFan581 Same here I have a 98′ with no pins. Great vid though.

Brittany092889 says:

I’m a 21 year-old girl who is anything but handy, and I was able to take
the top down by myself in 10 minutes with no problem because of this video.
Thank you!

mustannicolas says:

@TheFunTimesGuide tj start in 1997

timmothy1971 says:

Thank you very much for this video. i was dreading taking the top off my
(new to me) 98 wrangler but now thnxs to you , it was a snap lol

miopera40 says:

It is a terrible design, they should copy suzuki with the convertibles
vitara top idea

Joe R says:

Haven’t found any videos on how “easy” it is to put the top back on.

FSM2786 says:

I have an 06 Sport with pins, I wonder if the newer ones have em as well.
