My wife's Wrangler's soft top is coming apart at the seams and we're considering going to a hard top. Is is hard to convert? Looking for opinions on any options... getting the old one re-sewn, buying a new soft top, buying a hard top, etc.
Thanks in advance.
YJ or TJ? Rectangular or round head lights? It makes a difference. Bestop's "Replace-A-Top" seems like a good economical option, if your hardware is still in good shape. If you have the rectangular head lights, then you would have to buy a set of doors to convert to a hard top. They are different. If you have the round head lights, you have more options. You can window shop on the Internet at

New hard tops are expensive and good condition used ones are hard to find.
If you go the soft top route, I would definitely recommend Bestop. They have the best quality and when it comes to soft tops you get what you pay for.
Good luck with your project.

I have a used one winter, black, '99 TJ hard top in CT for sale. It's even got a rear wiper, defroster, and factory window tint.
