Default advice on buying a 2014 oem premium soft top

So I'm heading out tomm to view an unused 2014 OEM premium twill soft top. It's still in the boxes and the top is still wrapped up..Never used.

I'm just wondering if there are certain things I should do with it while assessing it. I'm definitely going to unroll it check for any cuts etc. Are there things to assess on the material (I know to look for black diamond on inside material for premium). How about zippers, windows, frame, frame motion..Anything you can suggest.

It also comes with all the mounting materials so I'll make sure I get all of those.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Cheers
Al

Well it sounds like you have a good handle on it to me. Also make sure you get the brackets from him that are mounted to the roll bar at the factory so he may not think of those. You also want the bolts that attach said brackets. Make sure you get the brackets that snap on the rail for the rear tail gate bar as well. Seems like they sometimes come up missing. And of course tail gate bar and door surrounds. Search youtube for an installation video (Bestop has a good one for the Supertop NX which is almost identical) so you know exactly what parts are required.

Bet you're getting a good price at the start of winter weather.

THanks for the info 14sport. I'll have a look at the you tubes to get a good idea on the parts. Seems like a decent fellow.
