i recently looked about buying a soft top for my jeep. but i had a question about my doors. will the soft top would fit on my hard top doors?? i have saw jeep with soft tops with hard top doors they have a little black plastic piece all the way around the top of the doors..... the guy at the 4 wheel parts store said that he didn't know the name of it and he couldn't order them. can anybody tell me what they are called or even better where i can find them.

i was wondering about this myself. Have a hardtop with full doors. and i picked up a OEM 06 softy with harware but wasnt sure if i needed the surrounds.

you'll need the surrounds for the soft top anyway.
without them you may as well have a safari top.
you cant seal the side widows or top to door without them.

i heard that soft tops will only fit 97-03 and 04-06 they change something? I ask because i got a brand new OEM 06 soft top and i have a 99

should fit fine, they changed a couple things, but as long as you're installing all the hardware together you should be fine.
i know they changed the rollbar bracket, and tailgate bar at somepoint, ive heard about the header bar but i couldnt confirm that one.
so long as all your parts are from an 06 it should fit just fine.

The only thing i didnt get is the surrounds. i guess im on the hunt for some of those from an 06 now....lol

i found a OEM soft top on craigslist with door surrounds. its black with the tinted windows....... the guy put it on his wifes Jeep and she didn't like it because of security issues at the mall he had it on the jeep for about a week...... long story short i bought it for $400 and it is practically new.... i plan on putting it on tomorrow hopefully i can figure it out im not sure that i know where the poles hook up at inside..... does anybody have pics on where it bolts up at inside.... thanks

Yeah, once you have it in your hands and near the Jeep it becomes self explanatory. The door surrounds will be the easiest part, so simple a caveman could do it.

Sorry bro, I missed your post #16 - I thought you were still talking about the door surrounds. Good luck.
