I put mine on, in November, in Upstate NY, when it was 30 degrees outside. It was a Monster!
I had space heaters and shop lights running inside the Jeep to warm up the material to get it to go. And yes, took every bit of pull strength I had to get the last 1/4" to go.
My original top got a hole in the roof and it needed to be changed. I was limited on options.

lulu2253 - I'd recommend taking it out of the box now and hanging it up. It'll help the material relax.

Im looking forward to summer here so it can bake for a few days in the sun and I can readjust it.

But I also Love the look of them.

 

yeah it does, especially in the summer time on a sunny day. its a nice tight fit. the back window is a PITA for me sometimes though

 

The mopar tailbar works great with this top. You would need the bar and the left and right retaining clip.

 

It get's easier.
On colder days or at night I just use the engine's heat for softening the top. I place the rear window in front of the grill, open the hood and let the side windows hang down from the hood.

 

The Trektop NX now comes with the mapar tailbar Bestop has also modified the top and added retaining clips to hold the top rear crossbar in place.

 

Took me Forever after having to install, uninstall, install, uninstall... just to get everything lined up properly.

 

That's good to know! My rear cross bar almost flew out at 75 mph last summer... Bestop got me a new top with the retaining clips, but I ended up buying the tailgate bar from another forum member.

 

Just bought one today and only got it on part way cause its so tight, anyone got any tips? I'm so frustrated

 

Check out this thread, tons of good tips in there.
