OEM Soft Top Hardware?

[dmr22]

I am currently in the market to purchase the Bestop Sailcloth Replace-a-top https://www.quadratec.com/products/11132_25XX_PG.htm but I currently have a Rugged Ridge soft top that the p/o installed. I was told that he installed the Rugged Ridge soft top while he owned the Jeep and I assumed he was replacing the OEM top. Before I order the Bestop Replace-a-top I want to make sure I won't have any issues installing it because I have some foreign hardware. Is there any way to identify that my soft top hardware is OEM?

Does your hardware look like this (without the folding sunrider)?

If so you have the factory style hardware.

Yep that is pretty well what it looks like. Thanks!

That's not the kit you want since you don't know if you have all the required hardware. I'd get the Bestop Supertop NX kit which includes everything, it assumes your Jeep came with a hardtop and ihas no hardware required for the soft top. This is the one I'd get, it's the same kit I installed 6-7 years ago... https://www.bestop.com/jeep/2004/wr...t-top/sub-model/standard/window-color/tinted/ It's available with or without tinted windows.

Thanks for the recommendation, Jerry! I was really hoping to save some coin since I already have a functioning soft top with hardware. I really just don’t want to pay for something if I already have it.
