I found a guy in houston that will trade me my soft top and $500 for his 2010 hardtop.From what I can tell I will need a wiring harness and new wiper lever to operate the rear wiper? Is there anything else I will need for the hardtop to work or that I should make sure I get from the hardtop seller?
Thanks

Make sure you get the pieces that slide underneath the lip of the body. This is what the hardtop bolts to.

FYI, I know the guy you're talking about. I had a deal with him to buy that top when it first went on CL. To make a long story short, he ended up backing out of the deal b/c a better deal came along.


Good luck.

Does the wiring harness include the new control knob to replace the factory wiper control? I am pretty sure the softtop front wiper control knob doesn't have the control for the rear.

I gave my wife my hardtop but never bought a new wire harness. I guess I should look for that kit you found. $130 isn't too bad. She has been driving without the wipers in back for a year now. I guess I could swap our two wire harnesses and save that money but I don't want to do that work twice.

Sorry to hear that bud. He screwed me over b/c you came along with a better offer and now he just did the same to you. I'm sorry to see it happen but I can't say that I'm surprised.

Don't sweat the hardtop stuff. They come available every now and then. Hell, I've been searching for the right one for over a year now. The deal with that guy was the 3rd person who flaked out on me. I think it must be the Jeep Gods telling me that I'm better off in the soft top!

http://www.wildboarproducts.com/fastbacktops.html this is the wild boar top.

I would wait rather than buy one from the dealer. I mean I have nothing against Love Chrysler, I bought mine there, and know the owner and her husband personally, but You can find a used one way cheaper and component install cant be that complicated.

Some people really liked them and then others had issues with the tops (leaks, paint fading, etc).

I think they look really cool but when you can get a stock hardtop for $1000, I can use the leftover $2500 on a lot more cooler stuff than that.

X2, I like the wild Boar tops, but would rather put that kind of money towards a Hemi or Supercharger.
