Soft top compatability
Will a soft top from an '02 fit on my '97? I understand the new ones are
sailcloth and someone wants to sell me one due to buying a sunrider. For that matter how about hard tops? I just want to make sure which way it works. I thought I heard that the new stuff will fit the old Jeeps but the old stuff won't fit the new Jeeps due to the redesigned safety crap at the top of the windshield frame. Shawn |

Yes hard & soft tops are compatible -- I have put 03 hard tops on 05 tjs and
vice versa "Endo" > wrote in message ... > Will a soft top from an '02 fit on my '97? I understand the new ones are > sailcloth and someone wants to sell me one due to buying a sunrider.

I don't see why the soft tops wouldn't work, but 97-02 hard tops are
vented, whereas 03+ are not (tailgate is vented). This makes them a little less desireable of a changeover. Endo wrote: > Will a soft top from an '02 fit on my '97?

I just wanted to make sure it would work. Something was different with the

interchangeable!
