Need soft top expert opinion / local repair

[VenkatV]

Hi,
Could use some advice on my issue. I have a 2022 4xe with premium soft top.

During a moment of distraction in a very tough day, I backed into my garage door while it was going up. The jeep top upper 2-3" didn't clear and hit the bottom of retracting garage door.

The rear of top looks slightly bent and isn't sealed anymore obviously. I will upload some pictures tomorrow. Is there a local top expert who can look at and tell me if I need a new top of fixable? In Delaware/Maryland/Philly suburbs ok.

Maybe its just knocked out of alignment? Have you tried tweaking the assemblies back into place? remove the panels and check and verify damage? I would think repair parts could be obtained by contact Bestop. Take pictures and send them to Bestop I believe they are on this forum.

I will upload some pictures tomorrow. Thanks for the advice. Qudratec is a short drive from me but not sure if they do any repair/installs

Wife just did same thing. What did you end up doing?

Not sure if it would help in this case, but there are some bolts that can be loosened to allow for the soft top frame to be adjusted. I posted a pic in another thread and I used them to adjust a soft top alignment. Can't hurt to loosen them and then try to adjust the top back into place.

Yes, I took to a Jeep mechanic near me and they fixed it up about 90-95%. They did exactly what you said. Bending those tubes can get you close but not quite.
