Hi All,
New to this forum but not to Jeeps. I have a stock '03 Sahara with the OEM soft top that the original owner sold the hardtop as he wasn't using it and taking up space in his garage.
That being said, I am on the hunt for a good used hardtop with wiper/defogger. From this forum and others, am I to understand that there are some slight design changes prior to 2003 and 2003 forward? I see references on new aftermarket tops showing 1997-2002 then 2003-2006, but I haven't found any definition as to the reason why. In my search, should I specifically look for an '03-'06?
Next question - most likely the one I find won't have the mounting hardware (I'm just not that lucky in life). What do I need to seal and bolt this puppy down permanently and do it so it does not have wind noise or leaks?
Thanks a million in advance for any suggestions/advice offered.
