For Jeep owners, especially those with soft tops, considering a fabric replacement can be a cost-effective way to refresh their vehicle. If your soft top frame is still in good condition, replacing just the fabric can be an excellent option. Modern Jeep Soft Tops come in various materials, each offering different levels of durability and noise reduction. Premium options like 30oz triple-layer twill and 28oz Sailcloth are designed for daily drivers, providing superior longevity and a quieter ride. For those who use their Jeep less frequently, more economical multi-layer fabrics in 23 or 24oz weights are also available and offer good performance.
Beyond simple fabric replacements, changing the style of your jeep soft top can dramatically alter your Jeep’s appearance. Frameless soft tops provide a sleek, fastback look by eliminating traditional hardware. These tops utilize door surround channels and rail systems for attachment, creating a unique and modern aesthetic. Alternatively, “summer style” tops offer an open-air experience ideal for warmer months. These setups typically include a bikini top, windbreaker, and tonneau cover to partially enclose the cabin, perfect for enjoying the summer weather.
If you’re starting with a hardtop and want to switch to a jeep soft top, the good news is you have access to the same wide range of fabric choices, including Sailcloth, Twill, and multi-layer options. Conversion kits are available that include all the necessary hardware for installation on your Jeep. Frameless jeep soft tops are also a popular choice for hardtop converts, as are summer top configurations for those wanting seasonal open-air driving.
