If it doesn't fit, you can always sell it someone with an "older" Jeep.
Good price, BTW, I just paid almost $500 for a TJ replace-a-top and
used my old hardware. I still needed an additional piece of weatherseal
on the header to stop the leak. Frost King # V27W works well.

Re: 2005 Wrangler Soft top on 99 Wrangler
I put a 2003 soft top on my 99 TJ. It will fit, but you'll need the
following:
- bows from a 2003+ top
- door surrounds (97+ are just fine)
- Mounts for the rollbar uprights (2003+ ONLY -- they are different than
97 - 02)
- Tabs for the rear of the tub where the window connects
That's it! I had the original top on mine when I found a barely used '03
sailcloth (for $150... hehehe). Luckily, the guy included all the related
hardware, so I had the mounts that go on the rollbar uprights. Before I put
them on, the top flapped a lot. Now it is MUCH quieter.
