Default ** Question about soft tops**

Hi everyone,

I am looking at buying a new Jeep Wrangler Sport. I am wondering how the soft tops fair in the winter time? - damage from snow and ice, heating the vehicle from the inside and keeping heat, etc. Any advice would be great!!! Please respond! Thanks!!! :)

Welcome to the forum.
Soft tops are not known for keeping the heat in,and if you let snow collect on it without removing it,It could become a problem.could put undue stress on the soft top framework.
As for leaks,you shouldn't have any problems if you keep the snow off it.
I have a few buddies who keep em on all year round and they sometimes have fogging issues since the windows are all plastic.
My advice to you is if you can get a hard top included in the deal,by all means go for it.
