QuestionI recently purchased a 95 Wrangler with both hard & soft tops, the latter of which I was told was also purchased from the dealer (i.e it is not aftermarket). I was given what I was told were all the soft top parts, but no instruction manual. I'm now trying to install the soft top, and have come up with some questions.
First is if there is any comprehensive set of instructions for how to go about do this, step by step if you will - or even some simple "what to do"s and/or pointers that might be available, preferably free of charge (but I don't have a problem paying for good info). I am relatively mechanical and shouldn't have much trouble doing this, but would like to have some sort of template to work from before I get too far into this, as at least a couple times before I've experienced & learned enough about messing up what at first seemed to be simple jobs.
I seem to be missing at least one piece, I think it is a channel that attaches to the top of the windshield and then the top fits in the groove of the channel and is then pulled tight when the rest of the top is secured down.
Lastly is a request for advice on soft top doors - I currently have none, but will be looking to get some. What types are available and what are the best to use? I seem to recall various both factory and aftermarket available, but was wondering if someone had some advice from experience about which ones work best - I do a lot of highway driving.
Thanks in advance for any help/advice/direction that you can provide me with on these matters - have a great one & Jeep on!

AnswerI would visit a Jeep parts department, have them pull up a picture of the top and print it. It should give you a good idea of where things go and what is missing.
I buy my soft doors from Quadratec (they have a website). They have several different kinds.
