Will replacement bow-less too work with factory soft top header

[Zgregg4153]

1998 TJ Sahara. I have the factory soft top header and I'm trying to put a replacement bowless top on it, but my header doesn't have a channel for the plastic piece of the top to slide into, it has factory screw style. Will it work or do I need to order a new header?

New header needed. The two types of tops need their respective type headers.

Nope, you need a header specific to that frameless top.

You need to order a new one. Get the one from Bestop, its worth the little bit of extra money.
