Depends if yours was built on a Friday. That's why you have a warranty

The '09 softtop is a bit different- ask Geoff (Geoff@Bestop on here)- he could tell you. The 2010 is also "new and improved"- Mark W.

It's not the soft top. It's the hard top with the freedom option.

My 09 "X" with the so-called "Freedom" top leaked. PLUS the passenger side panel actually accumulated water inside the panel. Dealership sent my Jeep to a body shop where they replaced all of the gaskets, etc and they replaced the defective panel. No runs, drips or errors since then.

If you weren't approved at all, it might not have been a $ issue, but a credit score/history issue. A different vehicle may not be the solution, but best of luck! Mark W.
