I'd be interested to see what it looks like on an actual JT. what t hey have there is a rendering and I think it will stick up more than it shows and will be a bit more bulky. Still, nice to see another option. Would still love to see it go behind the seats and I really don't care about the flip top for the freedom panels, but meh.

Just got it on yesterday. I like the look so much more than the OEM.

Can we get some more pictures at different angels as well as top and inside? I was already thinking of getting this one for the same reason of looking better than OEM. I like the lower profile roof and sleeker back edge.

For sure. It’s raining here today but I’ll take some tomorrow. So far really liking it.

Any additional pictures of this top? How’s the fit? Ease from up to down or off?

I would love to hear feedback on these as well as it is a product we "own" and sell
I am offering some great pricing on these soft tops though, so if anyone is interested in some great pricing PLUS the active rebate on it shoot me a PM

After helping my wife install her Trektop on her JL, and having removed the windows more than once, I can almost see from the picture how this might work similarly.

The green lined area would have the plastic tabs that tuck under the lip edges of the surround. The red lined area is most likely zippers (as evidenced by the bulge underneath the seam). The corner piece would hook around or connect to a cross bar up near where the blue circle is.

Then, you'd slide the rear window in and tuck the top down onto the velcro around the corners.

However, again just going on what I know of the Trektop design, I think this can only go bikini mode, not fully retracted like a JL factory soft top. The front will open like a convertible, but I don't think the rear section would. You could remove the rear window and the corners, and flip back the front, but...

If I'm correct, this is another man-bun design. I hope I'm not correct.

Reading through the install directions, I think the @cafecito is largely correct (the plastic tab and zippers match up exactly). The install directions differ a little with respect to when to install the window (it reads as if it is an extension of the top and then you simply secure the corners with the zippers and tabs).

The good news is that from the picture and description ... it appears to not be a man bun design and to cleanly fully tuck away ... whether there is a clean way to use as a bikini is what is unclear to me

This is the 7th picture from the product page. It looks like it folds up and is self contained above the sound bar. This also matches with the descriptio, " Once removed, the windows store conveniently inside the built-in overhead panel".
