Anyone fold/unfold soft top every day?

[Mole351]

Hope it’s able to take this kind of use. I pretty much am going doorless and top off (folded down) every day it doesn’t rain. When get to work I fold the top up (safari) just to keep sun from beating on the interior all day. Then when I leave I fold back down. Rinse and repeat next day.

Now just need to find a damn rain cover i can use that fits over the folded down soft top!

Yeah, I'm an almost everyday kind of guy. I was thinking the same thing about overuse, but I feel that's what it is made for.

With the threat of rain every night the last week, yes. Of course, I put the top up and it doesn't rain.

If I left the top down it would down pour.

Do you have the standard soft top or the premium soft top? I raise/lower mine fairly regularly (4ish times per week). Remember that nothing on the soft top is irreplacable. If one of the metal frame bars break, they can be replaced. And the soft top itself has a lifespan of 5-7 years but you can purchase replacement vinyl without having to replace the frame. (haven't seen prices on the JL, but historically these run around $500-800).

I do the same thing you do at work. I haven't had the doors or sides on for about a month now and I just keep an extra towel in case it rains. I sure as hell hope doing that doesn't break it anytime soon!

Yeah - seems sturdy enough.

Premium I believe.

I did not get a soft top... got hard top and took it off in spring. At night I put this on.... I use a Tuffy Product lockbox on the back door.

You can put it up and down as many times as you like within 3yrs/36k miles... I can't imagine the soft top being an item of durability like brakes and tires.

Awesome! Always good to hear about other phans. I have to admit, it took me a minute to get the license plate. But I think it is because I had Phish in mind when looking at it. I assume it is for Touch of Grey? Such a good song, whether it was a radio hit or not. I think you'll like my custom grille insert...

Wow - so badass! Did you have that made? By far the coolest insert I’ve seen. I was looking for Phish inserts or tire covers the other day though not so sure how good an insert would look.

Yeah - touch of grey...dig the song but did it more so as fitting between the grey Jeep, point in my life (starting to get a few grey hairs) and of course a dead fan. Not super obvious but folks get it here and there.

Assume you’re in tax as well? I don’t do tax but I’m a CPA...so you know...numbers and stuff. Lol

Had the insert custom made by Under the Sun Inserts. I just sent them a pic via their email contact and they did the rest; super easy. Also had a custom tire cover made by someone on Etsy. If you're interested, I can probably look back through my emails and find the gals who did it. The insert was like $150 or so, while the tire cover was less than $100.

Yeah, I'm a tax director for a regional construction company. I spent 13 years at Baker Tilly (regional CPA firm) but couldn't stand tax season any more. Numbers are cool.

Cheers!
