Default Winter weather

Hey everyone. In school right now, but I look out the window and you know what I see? Hail and sleet. Good thing I had my top up. But anyway, how easily can hail or sleet damage a soft top? And every other part of my jeep.

Thanks, Nick

The soft top will be fine, but hail can really mess up a hood....

Yeah. The only things you have to worry about in the winter is your windows cracking when it is really cold. I also recommend washing that salt off the top every now and then not sure if it hurts anything but its a preventative thing in my eyes.

My JK is edging towards 4 years young and the Soft top has been very resiliant from the weather.

I bump it everyday on a parking lot overhanging height bar, and it's holding up fine, the material is tough. Only the windows get scratched if not put away properly when removed.
