How does the material compare to mopar twill? Just wondering if this will look odd compared with my roll up tonneau cover

I haven't put mine back on yet for the summer, and I don't remember if those tabs are present on mine.So, really looking at it tonight. There are 2 tabs on each side,~ 1 inch and ~4 inch, that are holding it from seating at the front…
and where they sit…
I notice in the last picture that you still have the piece the freedom panel clamps to still attached. I had some sealing issues with mine until I removed that piece and bolted the hook for the rugged ridge top directly to the windshield frame. Maybe try removing that to see if that helps.

Does anyone else that has this top annoyed that the clamps won’t let the Sun visors close all the way?
it drives me crazy.

So, what I finally had to do to get it to seat correctly at the front, was to split the front bracket, and lower the door surround, then bolt back together. Could use a little more down, but set the bottom of the bracket that holds the surround, to the two notches on the part that attaches to the roll bar.

At this point the only real design complaint I have with the top, is they should have put straps in to roll up the back window... I might be able to solve that too...

It may have taken a day or 2 of stretch time but window is pretty flat. I've had this installed for several months and LOVE this top. My wife has the sun rider on her JT so I can compare both. I very much prefer the sunriders latch system. On the voyager I prefer the look of the top laying flat over the sound bar. Initial installation of the voyager is a PIA. The voyager is much easier to go full open top than removing the factory hard top but then you have to figure out where to store that monstrosity. Ease of opening the front of either one is about the same. But the voyager gives more options regarding the rest of the top. That's what sold me on it.

That rear window does look cleaner than other pictures I've seen. If I was still in the market this might have swayed me. Though storing the hardtop for the spring/summer/fall would have been a pain.It may have taken a day or 2 of stretch time but window is pretty flat.

It is indeed a pain. Wouldn't be an issue for me if I only owned one JT. I have one of those J-Bar lifts and leave it hanging. My issue is my wife wants her top off too so I have to deal with 2 tops.

I just take mine off for the winter and store it in the box it shipped in.
Same with the JLU version for the wife’s Jeep.

The 2 tops I'm referring to are the hard tops. I only have 1 lift/storage place to use while my voyager is installed. Problem is the lift is occupied and I can't use it to remove/store her top when she wants it off. I'll end up getting a second lift and that will solve the problem.

Well now that makes tons of sense friend. My misunderstandingThe 2 tops I'm referring to are the hard tops. I only have 1 lift/storage place to use while my voyager is installed.
