Review on 🔝 Rugged Ridge 13737.35 Soft Top, Black Diamond for 10-18 Jeep Wrangler JK: High-Quality and Durable Roof Cover by Steve Wynn

Just finished installing on my 2014 2 Door Wrangler wanted to post a review after going through all the steps. First, the instructions tell you to have someone help you. While this may have made things easier, it can be done by one person if you don't mind getting in and out of the Jeep a million times in the process. Second, don't start at dusk unless you have good lighting and few bugs around (silly mistake, but I didn't have many options in the forecast due to rain and I replaced a broken top). The instructions were pretty clear. , but the alignment of the front of the hood did not appear to line up 100% with the guide mark, so check for an even edge before installing the front molding. Second, they don't really understand where the tabs for the center and rear screws are supposed to screw in (there's a sewn-in tab and you go through both sides). Finally, attaching the feathers is a royal pain. I think they may have changed the caps from what the instructions say to what Chrysler sold me in 2014. You will most likely need to open the end with pliers, insert it through the rubber housing and compress the spring to close the end. The kit also included a few pieces of foam with glue. I was able to figure out where 2 out of 4 went and the rest was in place, I guess no project would be complete without extra parts right? I'm quite a hands-on person, I reckon 1.5 to 3 hours; depending on the lighting and the presence of additional hands. I'm very happy with the overall design/aesthetics, I expect the extra tight fit of the upper will loosen up a bit over the summer. Will update if there are any issues with the product in the future (no news is good news unless I post an update below).
