It has to be soft top season Right?

When do you folks pull off the doors, and strap on the soft top for the summer? It's been in the 20's here in the mornings, 40-50's in the afternoons. I think the big snows and cold days are behind us, but I don't want to damage the soft top putting it on (owners manual says 70 or better). I don't care if I don't put it down, but want to get it on the Jeep for the summer.

Our temps are about the same as yours and I usually wait until late April, early May to put my soft top on. It can be a real bear to put on when it is under 70 degrees.

As long as its a fairly warm day (like 50-60+) and in the sun you can install your soft top. I wouldn't do it below freezing as you might crack a window or something and it would be a PIA to do. The warmer and sunnier, the easier it will be to stretch the top and get it on

Here in the CO foothills I wait till mid april. I don't figure that the Big snow is behind me till mothers day.

If it isn't going to fall below 0*C at night (eg. tonight) and is warm during the day (eg. today) I take the doors off. Hard top stays until late March. It's ridiculously nice here for the time of the year.

Only 40F to you guys here, and I put the softop on last week

I haven't put it down yet though, scared I'll put it down then not go back up if I leave it down too long! haha

Really? 70's for the softtop? It gets in the 50's here and the soft top is all I got! LOL

**Hurley91** · 03-11-2010, 11:58 PM

It was 50*F here today and that ***** came down. I would have had it down all day but I had to work later on, and I didn't want to wait to long and then not be able to put it back up.

I'm throwing mine on April 1st. This year I took all the carpet out of the rear and I'm just gonna run it with no windows. Windows are the biggest pain in the *** ever.
