Christmas tree rack

Hi all. I usually take my truck to get the family tree. This year I want to take the jeep (with a soft top). I'm looking for suggestions from those of you that get your tree with your jeep. How do you tie it on and not mess up the soft top?

I wouldn't try it, unless you want scratches or holes in the soft top. If it's not too cold, pop the top.

That's what I did one year. Just take out the back seat and drop the top.

I've done this.
Put a tarp between the tree and the soft top.
