97 wrangler soft top...
 

It's time to get a new softtop. Tired of taping the back glass. This jeep
has a steelhorse top on it now, and it has never fit just right. My
question: is there any way to tell if the hardware is the original
manufacturer hardware? Since the steelhorse has never fit just right, I'm
hoping that the owners before me never replaced the hardware when they
replaced the top. I'm looking at a sailcloth top that requires the original
hardware.
thanks

"Essentials" catalog (www.quadratec.com) has a nice set of diagrams of the
factory hardware and hardware used by other companies. Turns out my son's
is factory, so we ordered the sailcloth top. Can't wait till it comes in.
Thanks Bill for your help.
