adding snaps to a soft top...
 

Should this be anything to do myself or take to a upholstery shop? just
wanna put a couple over each door on my cj5 to keep material from pulling
off of velcro.

very easy to do.
the snap kit part for the fabric top can be purchased at sewing supply places. dont
know about the part to go on the door tho.

WalMart sells them in their craft section. Pretty straight forward.

I highly recommend you spend the overinflated prices at the $tealership
for them. I have not been able to find aftermarket snaps that are any
good at all. The rot/rust out really fast. Nothing worse than putting
a nice fiberglass body on only to have rust streaks from every freakin'
snap.
