• One of the Jeep Wrangler's most unique and popular features is the removable soft top. However, removing and replacing the new Jeep JK Wrangler's top can be slightly more complicated than many people anticipate when they first purchase or drive a Wrangler. Fortunately, there are some steps you can take to make the process easier.
  
  

Approach It Logically

• Jeep soft tops have multiple zipping, clipping and Velcroing parts that all have to be fastened. However, the order in which you attach and fasten these pieces will make a big difference in the overall ease of putting the top in place. First, lift the top up and clip the front of the top into the Jeep's body above the windshield, then fasten down the back corners. Roll down the back window and zip it up securely, then move on to the rear windows. Don't worry about the smaller plastic clips until after you have the majority of the top together. Attach the front windows last.
  
  

Maintain Your Top

• Jeep soft tops do not handle abuse well, and a top in poor condition is twice as difficult to put on as a well-maintained one. If you do not care for your Jeep top properly, zippers will become hard to use and start sticking, and plastic clips may become damaged and not fasten properly. Always store your Jeep top properly in a safe location when it is removed. When removing or putting up the top, handle it gently and avoid jerking or yanking on any of its equipment.
  
  

Get Help

• One of the simplest ways to make putting up your Jeep's soft top easier is to recruit help. The soft tops can be bulky and awkward to handle alone. However, the assistance of one other person to hold pieces in the right location and prevent shifting when you are zipping and clipping your top together can make a big difference in the amount of time it takes to put the JK Wrangler's top up.
