They all come off when you switch back to the hard top. Its actually pretty easy and only takes 15 minutes or less to take the trektop off entirely.

Oh yeah, getting it together is the infuriating part. But once it is together it can be removed in one piece when you want to go back to the hard top. Then the back corner pieces will have to come off too.

It’s definitely a lot easier to take off and put back on after the initial installation. I wouldn’t get scared off by it.

I am considering this top and being able to quickly switch to the hard top is very important to me. Do any of you have pics of what it looks like when it comes off. I have heard others also say it comes off in one piece. That sounds clumsy/unwieldily to have the soft-top, metal bars and plastic door surrounds all bolted together. It sounds difficult to store as well. That said, I totally believe you all. It would just be nice to know the right way to do this. Thanks!

The door surrounds aren’t attached when you take it off. When I remove the top, only the hinged bar is attached. The back two are separate. It folds up to about two feet wide.
Sorry no pics of it off, as it is already on my Jeep for the season.

I installed mine a few months ago. So far I am very happy with it. It does not make any flapping noise up to atleast 80mph, and is pretty easy to use.
After installing it I can see where it should not take too long to pull it off when going back to the hard top. Most of the install is putting all the little parts together, and there's no reason to take it down that far when pulling it off for the hard top.
I'm really enjoying mine and love being able to go nearly topless but still have everything I need in case I get caught in the rain. I stash the side windows under my tuffy cargo cover, and roll up the back window and tailgate bar and secure it to the top off the cargo cover. Then I unsnap the rear of the top and stow it under the folded back sun rider. Almost 100% topless, in fact most of what left is above the sound bar anyway.
