Soft top in Winter
Does anybody run their soft top during winter. And by winter i mean in the negative degrees (F) and snow? planning a trip this winter up to Montana and only have a soft top. Just wondering how it will hold up... Thanks for any input

I do !! I love it and never had any problem....I am in MI and go even farther north for Jeep events!! We get lots of snow and very cold ( even negatives) and its fine...the heater rocks...once I even cooked hot dogs on the dash board while sledding....

You'll be just fine. I have only a soft top and our winter lasts 7 months. Constantly below zero and lots and lots of snow as in 200-300 inches on average

It was below zero when I test drove and bought mine. The soft top is all I have.
No issues, except that you cannot run the heater at full bore, it will cook you.

I live in Calgary, Alberta and a soft top is all I have. It was just fine all last winter. The only pain is that you have to wash your Jeep really often or get used to not seeing out the rear window because there is no rear wiper like the hardtops have.

I run a soft top year around also, no problem with that heater. I have read though, just be careful moving the back window because the clear plastic becomes brittle.

We get some bad winters here in NY and I haven't had any problems with my TJ or JK soft top. It's garaged at night though, so that helps keep most of the accumulation off.
