Replacing Base Model Soft Top Cover

[ChunkyBear50]

Has anyone purchased a twill upgrade Top for their jeep?
I just received mine and it doesn't have any instructions for install and I can only find videos on-line for changing a hard top to a soft top.

Can anyone help?

So you’re replacing the cloth only and reusing your existing frame, etc.?

I have removed my stock vinyl soft top and replaced it with a twill Bestop Soft Top.
Is it just the fabric? Like you remove the fabric from the old top and put on new fabric?
You'll probably retain the sport bar brackets, and the door surrounds and all the plastic bits.
Just ensure the top is locked in place, use the two #40 torx bits holding the soft top mechanism in place and remove. I'd imagine this is the only part that is changing.
I'd offer to come help, but you're 2k ish miles away. lol

I'm guessing you've already found this video:

I can't actually find a twill upgrade kit online, can you post a link to what you got? If I can see the hardware, I can get a better understanding of what you're swapping.

Oh, ha! I think it defaulted itself to 2 door cause of my Jeep. lmao
Like you, I also can't find videos but maybe these threads by @Cjkinwi and @JP29 might help.
