I have a manual soft top on my 2017 wrangler, i was driving on highway 2 and when crossing a fleet truck trailer, soft top blew off, and right side frame is also broken and top is hanging like parachute, its was not even closing afterwords, back rod is also bent, i tied it with some network cables and dropped it off next morning at local dealership and they created a case and sent it too manufactures and still waiting to hear back from them, so far 4 days and no answer. Dealership said vehicle still under warranty, but they can't do anything till they hear back from manufacture, once they approve that its under warranty they will order parts that will take another 10 days, its crazy that Brand new Jeep have this problem, service is so slow. now i have to pay for rental vehicle for next 10 days
I see similar threads, where soft top brakes pretty much same way.
Jeep should fix this problem.

OP, is there more to the story here? Are you saying that the top was completely secured..... locked down tight.... and you were just driving around and hit a cross wind and, boom, the top lifts off and is damaged? That’s 100% of the events?

WOW, 26,000 miles on mine and never had any issues. Top back, Top down, taken off and put back on, nothing. Was it latched correctly?
