Re: just got my soft top from dealer - hmm
Thanks again Jeepminded...i uploaded my photos through photo bucket, they give you step by step on uploading then once you've uploaded them on there, you can click share, then you just want to click where it says share on forum, then copy that link and paste it in here...
as far as the clamps go, yes they were and are clamped down...which is why i do not understand why i am not getting a damn seal! this is very frusterating lol...i guess all i can do is to keep playin around with it until something works, ugh

Thanks for the photo advice, I will give this a try.
Ahaa, the link I sent you is for a JK Unlimited (aka 4door), which is the same as what I have, and I see you have the 2 door....so makes sense a smaller top does not need this extra bow and clip.
Hmm. Never touched a 2 door toop, they should be darn close.!
Now that you have confirmed the visor clips were locked down, then for sure the top is not sitting forward enough....I would focus there.
Maybe try a web search for a 2-door top write up, or maybe one the other 2-door guys could chim in here.
It would be ideal if you new of another 2-door in your area to compare to....check out the car lots in your city.
I check in later, good luck.

Oh crap!! Sorry to hear you took on water.
Have you given this a try ?

Bestop should have a 1-800 for support
This site has quite a bit of info if you can find what you are looking for
http://www.jk-forum.com/forum.php
If not, maybe try posting a question there, I sure there's a 2 door Jker that could advise.
I hate to say it, but it may be time to swing by the dealer for help...hit them up for a free interior cleanning for your troubles.
Best of luck, let us know how you make out

Check youtube for videos, search for jeep jk soft top, there is a bunch. The front, ontop of the windshield isn't ahead enough. It has to sit overtop the rubberseal, if the back is hooked and your top is new and stiff u might not be able to pull it forward. Try with the back corners unhooked and sit inside and try to lift the front up and forward. I put mine on May 2 and it was a year old and still really tight first time on in cool weather. Someone earlier said let it sit in the sun, good advice!! Also looks like the drip clip things over the doors are not in right, my 2009 has a little button thing at back top off the door that it clips into, then pull the top in over the door window the same way the side window bottoms go in, little black tabby, thing-a-ma-jigs. Like tracklock said look to see if u got the black holders that clip on the top of each side of the tailgate. First few times u think u should have a damn engineering degree to put top up, then it get's easier with time untill its not a problem anymore lolololol!!
