Default soft top from 2013 Jeep Wrangler to 2012 fitting and first impressions

I have bought brand new soft top from the member of this forum. DrToronto. Besides being very nice and smooth in communication and making the deal. It was pleasure to meet another Jeep member, share some laugh and learn new stuff.

MANY THANKS DrTORONTO !!!

Now little description of the soft top. I had old soft top ( on 2012) that I managed to damage while reversing into garage, making it useless and not water tight.

The soft top from 2013 model is a bit different but visibly smoother and better quality. For anyone getting 2013 soft top, please be aware that your old door surrounds will not fit easily or not at all.

There is visible difference in the style and stitching as well as it more tight fit( this could be because the top is bran new and not yet stretched) but feels better vs 2012.

I will post more details in upcoming days with some pictures to show some differences and make it easier to understand for anyone that plans to get new 2013 soft top.

if anyone have any questions feel free to ask here...

It was learning experience. Yes DrToronto is right. if you buying new soft top make sure you have all the parts , screws etc. 2012 is different from 2013.
