Automatic Sky One Touch

@ekoii LOVE everything about your Jeep! Love your seats especially!!! I saw on your build that you don’t have your Jeep lifted and you have 35” tires correct?

That's right. I'm running 35's now with no lift. I am looking at lifts and that will likely be the next evolution on the build either a 2.5 or 3.5in.

Looks great. What doors?

They are Rugged Ridge. Got them at a 4 Wheel Parts event.

Thanks. How was the installation? Read mixed reviews?

@ekoii thsts nice to know because I necessarily don’t need to have a lift I just want a better tire/wheel combo then stock so that’s good to know.

Installation was pretty easy. Take time to adjust the doors as you tighten the hardware. They do occasional require tightening in the door latch mechanism as thing loosen from vibration. I use them as the primary doors, so they get lots of use....and so I check and adjust as needed. They changed the stopper at the bottom of the door, which also allows for adjustment, really making a difference in making them fit snug. Overall, I’m happy with them.

I happened to run across this post on another Wrangler forum. I think this is proof enough to not mess with the rear window. https://www.wranglerforum.com/threads/hard-top-rear-window-removal.1306657/

Yep, agree completely! I did notice on mine there is a disconnect for the window washer fluid..... which I find odd if jeep never intended the rear window to be removed. But, that is all I can see that would suggest removal. And of course nothing that I can find in manual.... but I don’t notice any issue with it staying shut and my top is back and all windows are down.

I'm with you. If it were straight forward, then maybe but if there's no issues in leaving it be and we still get the full open-air effect then why even bother!

Squeak! Anyone have any experience with squeaking? Is there a known fix for the potential 2 causes of the squeaking? Some of the old post horror stories scaring me away from this option.

I have had mine for over a year and no issues at all. It's been great.

My very first test drive I was on the highway and it started to rain. I slowed to 60mph and closed the top and didn't need to pull over. I was sold. I've been really happy with it as there are many days when it's cold, but sunny and I have the top, half open. I also didn't want to deal with storing the hard top and putting the soft top on and off. It is pricy but I am happy with the trade-offs. The noise also has never been an issue for me as it's quieter than many soft tops on the Jeep. Good luck.

We have the One Touch on our Jeep and love it. I don't have space for a hard top to be stored, I'm also lazy and didn't think my wife and I would ever take off the top if we went with a hard top. The wife wanted a hard top, so One Touch it was! We've only owned the jeep since 10/31, so no issues yet, just lots of fun.

It's pretty clear how much the One Touch owners love this top. My biggest concern is the squeak issue I've read about. I understand it's not on all of them, but I'd like some piece of mind knowing if the issue does occur, its solve able at this point. I saw some older forums where many owners were freaking out, trying random fixes, adding straws, greasing, bringing to dealership multiple times, and no one was able to stop the squeak.

Drove 6 hour trip with speeds up to 100 mph on short bursts. The SOT was closed, and other than some wind noise, which didn't bother me because I had the stereo on, I had no issues. Love this top! Opened it up as soon as I got to my sister's house in Orangvale, CA.

Love my Sky One Touch. No squeaking issues or anything else after 1+ years of ownership and frequent use.

Ugh all this positive feedback is making my decision harder. Holding out for someone to chime in who hates it!
