After over a year of following this forum and dreaming of buying a new Wrangler JL, we finally pulled the trigger and bought a new Jeep Wrangler Sahara (JLU). I never thought I'd buy one with the retractable soft top, until I saw my wife's eyes light up when I pressed the button during the test drive. It really is easy to operate and I imagine it will save us the hassle of storing multiple tops. I was getting ready to "compromise" and get a 3 piece hard-top and an aftermarket sunrider for hard top. Anyway, I thought I'd share with you some initial impressions of the Sky One-Touch retractable top. 1) It's super easy to operate, 2) it's a little noisy compared to the hard top, but not overly so, 3) you don't get beat up by the wind going 55+ mph, 4) I haven't taken out the rear windows yet, but they easily store in a bag that comes with the Jeep. I saw someone remove them and it took about a minute to remove and store them in the bag. 5) the top can be slow to close, but not overly slow, 6) cruising around town with the top retracted and windows down is a great feeling.
There are two cons thus far from what I can tell - the mopar grab handles do not fit and I do not know how great looking the Jeep will be with the top on (retracted), doors off, and back windows out.
Obviously, all of this is subjective. I hope someone finds the above useful.
