I think a reply from TopLift Pros is still in order, though. Everything should fit nicely...especially for $1K! If they respond, will you update, please?
Definitely- unfortunately haven't heard anything yet...
Took my husband maybe 2 hours I want to say.
Same here. The stability bars don't fit right with my Sahara JL hard top. They are too short and you can't insert them into the unit with the hard top on it. Some kind of design flaw. I notice that the stability bars are different in design than in their YouTube videos. Looks like they redesigned them but didn't test out the new design. I'm not happy.
Something I'm confused about, with the TopLiftPro, don't you have to untie the rear portion of the shade to remove (and likewise replace) the hardtop?I posted this in another thread as well, so I’m sorry if you’ve come across it before. Mine arrived Friday as well. I Assembled it and took the whole top off for the 1st time. I finally got to put on the J Tops Shade as well. The TopLift Pro works as advertised!
No. The TopLift Pro makes contact with the roof above the “trunk”. The shade stops at the rear sports bar, just behind the back seat.
Yeah they definitely redesigned it! I saw a video or two with the new one and it worked perfectly for the guys. No clue what’s going on and have yet to hear from them. When I have time Friday I’m calling to get it figured out. 1k- everything should work flawlessly.
Thanks that clears up a lot. Now I can spend way too much money with confidence!No. The TopLift Pro makes contact with the roof above the “trunk”. The shade stops at the rear sports bar, just behind the back seat.
Not a great picture, but the Lift makes contact with the roof just inside the rear window. You can see where the shade ends in relation.
I just moved into an apartment and I’ve been bouncing between a couch or a topliftpro....
I emailed Barry from TLP and made him aware of the issue and also linked him to this thread. I know that some people are saying that they don't need or use the stability bars. Well, maybe they have the JK model, but my Sahara JL hard top seems like it could easily tip forward and fall off the unit without the stability bars in place, so I would like to use them. And as it is now, it takes a second person to lift up on the hard top in order for the first person to insert the stability bars. Kind of defeats the purpose of this device, which allows ONE person to remove the hard top. I'll post back if I hear something from Barry.
