However, there's a small caveat: always double-check the specific model of both the hardtop and the Jeep. While generally interchangeable, there might be minor variations depending on options packages (e.g., different window configurations, slightly altered mounting points).
The process of fitting it is the same as fitting any TJ hardtop:
1. Clean the mounting surfaces: Make sure both the Jeep's body and the hardtop's mounting points are clean and free of debris, dirt, or old sealant.
2. Align the hardtop: Carefully lift the hardtop into place, ensuring it's aligned correctly with the body. It should sit flush and even.
3. Secure the latches: Engage all the latches and bolts. These are typically located around the windshield and along the sides. Tighten them securely but don't overtighten.
4. Check the fit: Once everything is latched, walk around the Jeep and check for any gaps or misalignments. If anything is off, carefully adjust as needed.
5. Optional sealant (recommended): Applying a bead of sealant along the mating surfaces will help prevent water leaks and improve the overall seal.
If you encounter problems, double-check the alignment and make sure you're using all the correct latches and bolts. If you're still having difficulty, consult a Jeep repair manual or a professional mechanic. Minor variations in manufacturing might require a little extra patience to get everything to fit perfectly.
