Rugged Ridge | Soft Top, Black Diamond | 13737.01 | Fits 2010-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK

Just got finished installing this on my 2014 2 door wrangler, wanted to leave a review after going through the motions. First off, the instructions say to have someone help you. While it may have made things easie, one person can manage it, if you don't mind hopping in and out of the jeep a million times durine the process. Second, don't start at dusk unless you have good lighting and limited bugs in your area (dumb mistake but I didn't have many options due to rain in the forecast and was replacing a broken top).The instructions were pretty stright forward, however aligning the front of the top didn't seem to match the guide mark 100% so check for equal overhang before setting the front bar. Second they aren't very clear about where the tabs for the middle and rear screws are meant to be screwed into (there's a sewn tab and you go through both sides). Lastly, reattaching the springs is a royal pain. I think they may have changed the covers from what the instructions describe to what Chrysler sold me in 2014. You will most likey need to open the end up with a pair of pliers, insert it through the rubber housing, and pinch the spring closed to finish up. The kit also contained a few pieces of foam with adhesive. I could figure out where 2 of the 4 went and kept the rest handy, I guess no projet is complete without extra parts right?I'm a fairly handy person, I would expect this to take anywhere between 1.5 to 3 hours; depending on the lighting and the extra hands available. Very happy with the project/aesthetic overall, im expecting the extra snug fit of the top to loosen a bit over the summer. Will update if issues arise with the product down the line (no news is good news if I don't post an update below).

I researched several 2010 wrangler replacement tops, spent a week or more scouring through forums, reviews, videos..etc. in the end I decided to buy the rugged ridge top. It is as good or better than the OEM, "fairly" easy to Install and looks damn good. I can't really understand the reviews throwing this thing under the bus, for $450 you can't beat it

the overall satisfaction of this product is good. i was a little frustrated on putting the front part on that goes in between the original plastic pieces. it really takes a few more hands than one person. it fit great and instructions were good except for the foam pieces that came with it. there is no explanation of where they go. but when it rains you know then where to put them. and i wished a few more pieces would have come with it, it still leaks a small amount near the front corner edge.although i fixed this by buying a roll of self sticky foam like you would use on windows to seal/insulate.this seems to have completed the project.i guess its worth the money compared to others that are 50-100 dollars higher.i would buy another one, but only because i now know how to solve all the problems i wasn't aware of when i took it out of the box.

I was terrified this purchase was going to be a nightmare after reading the reviews. I am certainly pleased to report that it was misplaced fear because it went so well and looks so much better!**1 year update**My Jeep is my every day driver. It is kept outside and never covered. After over a year my top is still in great condition. No shrinkage. No leaks. No stretching or ponding. I am still very pleased with this product. <3Let me start by saying that I ordered an "open carton" (or returned item). I paid less than half what this top normally costs! That made it an amazing steal of a deal.It came with all the parts I needed. My 15 year old son and I (a middle aged mom) were completely capable of removing my old top with stuck zippers and dry rot and replace with this new top in just 2 1/2 hours. I could have done it by myself with little to no problem. It's a Jeep, y'all.The fit is perfect for my '12 JK. It does seem slightly more light weight than my factory top was, but it has a FIVE YEAR warranty! Use it if need be. There's no complaints from us on this purchase.

Update 11-5-18: Rear window zipper is failing, I am able to close it 3/4 way without it the teeth coming apart. Every couple months I have used Star Brite zipper lubricant so it is not like I have not taken care of it. The rear window is also fading severley from black to greyUpdate 9-13-17: The soft top survived a Cat 5 hurricane in the US Virgin islands with only slight leaking from the 2 front headers (I need to replace some foam). So I would say this is bomb proof durableI have a 2012 Jeep JK & bought this soft top because my old one was destroyed. Installation took ~3-4 hours by myself using basic tools. The instruction booklet was straight forward. The back window zippers are attached to the actual soft top thus they are reversed from the OEM Mopar set up. I would say the fabric is slightly better than the OEM MOPAR fabric however is def not the same fabric or quality as the Mopar Premium soft top. The doors rubber gasket overlap the soft top side windows like the Best Top soft tops do which I really don't like thus 3 stars. I don't want to have to replace door rubber gaskets later down the road because they are exposed to elements. Will update later to see how it holds up. The pictures are the before OEM Mopar Soft top & the Rugged Ridge soft top.

Product fits nice and is easy to install. However it is not as thick as the original windows. May not last as long. But for a budget top it is great
