For the past few months.. okay more like a year I have needed to replace my soft top on my Jeep. Every time it rained the top was so sun dried that the water would go right through and I would have to wear a hoodie so to keep from getting wet while driving. I also had towels on the seats because whenever it rained, they would get soaked.I finally purchased one about five months ago and it's been sitting in my closet waiting to be put on. Now it sat there partly because I was lazy but in the instructions it says that when replacing the top it needs to be at least 70 degrees so the canvas will stretch. Well I could only do it on weekends and it seemed every weekend it was either cold or rainy and I couldn't do it.. on the weekends it was nice outside we would do something else and I would totally forget.
Anyways long story short when I took the dog out this morning the sun was beaming down and it felt very hot (and it was only 8:30am). So I check the temp and it was only 52 degrees but man did it feel hotter so I took a chance and decided that I was going to replace the top.
I read through the instruction, and I had to remove the old top.. once that was removed it was so much easier to understand the instructions as all I had to do was copy what I did to take off the top but backwards. It took about an hour and a half but I finally got everything back on and it looks great. I thought it was actually going to be very snug but it's actually kind of loose.. not too loose but not as tight as I had expected. Haven't taken it on the freeway yet so that will the real test.
