Excellent instructional video. I watched this a few times, went out to my 2010 Wrangler Sport, and had the top down in under 5 minutes without help from another person. It took longer to sift through all of the non-helpful videos on here than it did to put the top down. Thanks for posting!
Just bought a "New To Me" 2006 2dr Wrangler Sport - Soft Top. Never took top down but this video looks very useful. Is it possible to download this video to your hard drive?
@starstilla it all depends on what you need. I've only ever had a two door Wrangler, and I can say that before I bought a second vehicle for myself, there were times that I definately wished they made a four door one. But, honestly it all just depends on what you need it for, if you have a family, or ever need to hall anything, but a few grocery bags worth of stuff get a four door, it will be more convenient, but if its just for fun, i would say get a two door
hard top would be faster and easier, but you need a place to store them. and keep a tarp if it starts to rain, i wouldnt mind the rain, its just water.
i thought it was just me but when you look at 3:08 into this video you can see another person helping this guy lift the top up. its not so easy to do by yourself (under pressure) with rain storm moving in.
Is this the 2007 Wrangler? Or the 2009? I understand there are some differences between them, such as the lack of drip rail and a roll-up rear window.
I am completely inept when it comes to these kind of DIY things; I own a '08 Wrangler, but I gotta say: it's not that difficult - 10 minutes tops (even for me).
Criticism though...he is a cheating bastard: he has someone helping him (hidden) on the other side of the vehicle. ;)

You know what I love about my stock 2007 jeep wrangler? The terrible leaks it has developed, The extremely underpowered v6, The terrible & scary death wobble it has developed, The jeep dealer telling me there is nothing wrong with the suspension, The jeep dealer telling me there is no guaranteed fix for the leaking, But most of all, the $26,000 price...... awesome
"Working from the rear". They fail to mention if you want to put the 'Sunrider' back to it's secure position you have to do the whole fucking procedeure.
Bought a rubícon 4months ago you will love your jeep. They go where no man has gone. I live overseas and drive in the jungle, water,rocks and on the beach. Enjoy! This vid is for the two door. I found It helpful.
I'll leave the back window on in, in a rolled up position when I put the top down. It's heavier this way, but I'm 6'3" and able to manage it so as not to put extreme strain on the joints by reaching in to the center and lifting/supporting the entire assembly..
Thank you YouTube. The time/effort required is enormous. It really rules out using it in any context where weather changes rapidly. Seems like you choose your mode and hope to stay with it.
its actually much easier to start the zipper of the rear quarter windows while the top is half up...trying to get that zipper started when the top is laid flat like that and sort of tight makes for a real pain in the ass
Would it be possible (is it possible) to have both hard and soft tops for the same Jeep? I have a hard top now and am looking on CL and such for soft top. What should I buy or need to buy to make both work? Thanks!
I can see why one would use a boot cover when the top is down. It looks a lot neater and can hold everything in place.

It helps if the soft top has been in the sun for awhile. The heat makes the material stretch and thus it helps.
After two or three times it is much easier
