WTF? (can I say that?)

You don't have to completly remove the hard top to get the soft top out. Just loosen all the bolts, have someone raise the back of the hard top, and the soft top will slide out the back. Then put the bolts back in.
Worked for my '08 anyway.

I still wonder how it will "damage" the soft top by leaving it under the hardtop. Dual top models can sit on the dealer lot for months with the top in there. It's bolted to the roll bar and covered in a vinyl protective boot. Personally I think it's better off in the Jeep than in some bug or mouse infected storage closet. It does block a portion of the back for loading items, but its not an emergency to remove it...

I leave the soft top cover folded back in the down position, take all the surrounds off and just put the hard top on right over the reclined soft top. Works like a charm and saves a lot of hassle re bolting the soft top on. It's a tight fit, but with enough finagling it works just fine!
