Soft Top Blues

The soft top on my TJ was pretty easy to install and remove, but the JKU soft top isn't. To complicate things, the previous owner never once put the soft top up (it was still in its factory sheath when I bought the 2010 JKU a couple months ago). I'm afraid there are pieces/parts missing, because the only parts to the soft top I have are the rear window bar and the top itself.

For example, there's nowhere to tuck in the rear window bar that I can see. It just hangs. When I tried the soft top with the doors on (they're off now) I could see sunshine between the top of the door and the the top. Are there door surrounds, or something similar, like my TJ had?

Can y'all help me figure out what pieces/parts I should be searching for?

Thanks, -Mikey-

Sorry Mikey just saw this... Yes you should have door surrounds, without them your top is useless.

Thanks...I'll start saving my money for a Trek Top, then. In the meantime, I'm going to just buy the surrounds and whatever it is that holds the rear window bar down. I guess I'm not surprised, since I noticed the windows weren't with it before I bought it.

You could make it into a bikini top or if you decide to toss it, I have a need for some vynil...
