Is it hard to put on with the soft top folded to the back of the jeep? Or, does the soft top have to be completely removed to put this cover of?

Soft top needs to be completely down and folded to the rear. The soft top DOES NOT have to be removed. The cover utilizes the channels to secure it to the tub. As for putting back in the bag, check out the pictures here: http://www.wranglerforum.com/f274/anyone-have-the-best-top-trail-cover-100522-2.html i use that technique and it works perfectly.

Yes, the complete area of the truck is exposed, the top folds down to rest completely behind the trunk of the jeep, just in front of the spare tire.

Pretty easy. The entire shade is held on with bungees. With the hardtop on (freedom panels off) the two bungees that wrap around the rear cross bar will be a little difficult to access when you go to reattach the shade but otherwise its a very simple install and uninstall.

Mark - I have full doors on my 2004 Rubicon and have no problem getting these strapped on. The strap actually goes between the door and that black plastic frame that hold the top in place. It's super easy to do. The part that is really "snug" is if you install it with the existing soft top still on but folded back. It is possible, you just can't fully zip down both sides in back. Since taking the whole soft top is a bit of a pain, I've generally just kept this in my Jeep and throw it on for days when i know know rain is in the forecast for a couple of days.

It's very hard to see when I take the top off my jeep, but I manage. It's not a deal breaker in my opinion.

It's not difficult to remove, but its not meant to be like a bumper or anything. It fits snugly/securely. If you plan to remove it regularly, do it carefully.

No...wish I would have known this...may just take off the top half of the back seat cover and go with that..I love the front seat covers....my husband said he would play around with it some more....took him a long time to get them in....

The one I have, the cover is not removable. Though if it was I'm sure getting it off would be easy...however putting it back on would be impossible. It is really snug.

It comes apart and together so easy! Each piece comes off! I have a jeep grand Cherokee and it all fits in my back just fine! It comes with the two seats and you have to buy the car seat adapter separate. I love in Utah but don't seem to have a problem with the black in the heat.

You might have to do some cutting. I took mine off because it blocks the headlights and makes the jeep do a nose dive(60 lbs). It doesn't leave room for winch or future bumper choices. Not trying to tell you what to do but I got sick of having to take mods off because they weren't compadable with future better mods. I loved it for a month, then hated the grill guard. Sorry to go off on a tangent! Good luck.

It attaches to the roll bar, having the soft top still attached would be cumbersome however you could probably work around it

I don't use a hardtop, but I would think that the windshield channel would prevent the hardtop from fitting flush with the windshield. It is not hard to remove the windshield channel and just store it with the soft top when you are using the hard top.

I don't have a soft top on my JK, but I will say this, there is approximately 1-2" clearance between the tubular bar and the roof/windshield. I think what might get you with your soft top is the fact that the tabs/shelves that you attach your lights to are behind the tube that goes across. I measured the clearance from them to the line where my hard top edge is and it is approximately 0.5" in front of and 1.25" above that line. If I had to guess, I would say that the overlap of your cloth top would probably touch them but not be a problem.

No. It needs to be soft so that it can fold up for easy storage. It does have Velcro on the bottom so that it does not slide around in the trunk when open.

I had the same problem. I could not get it to fit because my soft top and frame was connected (down,but connected). I think it will only work when the top and frame are completely off. Part 2... It is close to impossible to get it back in the bag it comes with. The cover is sturdy and everything advertised. Just won't fit if you have the soft top attached. Hope this helps...

I have it on under my soft top. It is easier with the soft top off, but it can be done. I just keep the net on loose with the soft top up when I am up it the mountains and it rains a lot. When I drop the top, I just cinch the net tight again.

Mine was delivered folded, with the cover on. To unfold and set up is super easy, and just involves locking a joint on the two longer top bars. We have folded it up and set it back up multiple times for travel with no problems.
