Default VOTS...

Hi guys,
Couple questions, Just ordered a 2013 Wrangler Sport (2 Door) I ordered the Black Freedom Hard top as a $1050 option, I would love the soft top for the summer months but according to my salesman I don't get a soft top and would have to have to order separately, or upgrade to serria?? I find it hard to believe that it wouldn't come with the soft top.

Anyone order a Hard Top and get the Soft Top included??

Can Canadians track orders through https://www.jeep.com/vots/ ??

If Canadians can track progress How long does it take before my order info will be entered into VOTS to begin tracking? (I have my VON #)

Thanks

Err! so if you don't order it with a hard top for an extra thousand bucks or so you end up with no top at all? Sounds screwy to me.

Maybe certain trim levels you can get both or something? I would think for an additional 1000 dollars for a hardtop, the soft top would of been the base option and also included.
I dont know really I had no concern in a soft top so I never looked into it.

The soft top is what comes with the Jeep . . . you pay the extra money to have the "Dual Top Group" . . . . I like Old Fart's question lol If you don't pay for the hard top you have to go with no top at all???? I think maybe you should back out and find a new dealer!

Hmmm, I did ask about the "Dual Top Option" The model I ordered was the Sport.
According to my salesman the The Dual Top Option can only be ordered under the Sport S model, a $2075 option.
I figured selecting a freedom top option with my Sport would also get me the soft top but I don't think so.
I have found a used 2012 soft top from a person on Kijiji but don't want to waste money if there is a slim chance my salesman is wrong.
I guess my question should be, anyone order a sport with the hardtop get a soft top included..

Base Sport comes with softtop only. Roof Upgrade for the Sport is to hardtop. Doubt you will find a "Dual Top Group" in a Sport on a lot, and sounds like Dual Top Group can't be special ordered in a Sport. Dual Top Group is very common in Sahara and Rubicons models. When I was looking it was almost impossible to find a Sahara or Rubicon without Dual Tops..

Silver Billet,

If you're looking to order a Jeep Wrangler with the soft top and the hard top you will have to order the "dual top group" or purchase a soft top after the sale (from the dealer or other where).

Once you add the Hard Top option, it technically drops the standard-equipment soft top (seeing as it is an upgrade).

Like it has been said, Most Sahara, Rubicon Wranglers come with the Dual Top Group option, it's a popular one.

Send me a PM with your VON#, not sure how much info I can find but I'll try my best.

I just bought my 2013 Jeep Wrangler Sport 2 door, I ordered the Hardtop Option with the $1000 or so i didn't get the soft top. But i figure you don't order the hard top you default to a soft.. I'd like a Soft Top also maybe, but i hear it's a pain in the **** to switch back forth between seasons especily if you've nowhere to put everything.

My idea was to just to buy a Bikini top for the summer months, but then I would put the hard top on when im not out gallavanting and take it off for the weekends throw the bikini top back on. I know full Softtop Kits are very expensive, from what I saw $1000 - $1500 for a complete kit. I can grab a bikini top for $100. Guess it really does depend on your needs i guess.
