Haven’t found this on the forum. Did anyone go with the standard soft top? Happy with it?

I’m for sure going soft top. Just want to make sure the premium is worth the price.....premium.

Pictures Appreciated! (Last decision to make is color)

Premium is definitely worth it. It’s a much darker black, nicer material. It’s better than the standard material.

Premium is well worth the money.
The mechanism may be different also.
much easier to open/close.
I know it is in the JL.

I have the standard fabric on my JK and the premium on the JT. The JT fabric is noticeably nicer, but the JK fabric is plenty serviceable. If you're opting for the Mopar rollup tonneau, the premium fabric matches that.

I have Premium, also have it on my Jk. Went premium as it’s much nicer and also if ordering factory roll up tonneau Cover, it is same material.

I got the standard soft top. My buddy got the hard top. I don’t really notice the different in noise level. Unless your driving down the highway. Other than that, city driving is same as hard top. Wish I had the opportunity to test out the premium soft top. Heard it was easier to clean. But so far I haven’t had trouble cleaning the standard one.

Love the fact I can open the top anywhere I go.

Have the standard on my JKR and premium on the JT. Personal opinion here, but I think the standard is easier to care for. As for longevity. The standard on my JKR is 9 years old, has never spent a day inside a garage and is finally at the point where I'm considering replacing it. I guess I'll see how the premium holds up.
