The bestop surrounds are the same specs as factory I had similar issues and had to perform a series of trial and error to what worked best I found that starting the zippers zipping them patrially helped then I always secure the top to the door surrounds first then work my way to the rear of the Jeep, remember the warmer the conditions you do this in the better once the top is on a while and molds to your Jeep it will become easier

I got mine to fit, but it is very tight. You will need two people to stretch it across.

They are very hard to get on, as it is not a top to take on and off all the time. Wait til it is a really warm sunny day. You will have to have a strong set of hands. Once you get it on, you will love the tight fit.

Because of the "newness" of the fabric, it will be difficult to work with. Unfortunately, it requires a lot of patience and some degree of ingenuity. If you have further questions, please email me at ghme.llc@gmail.com

On mine, the top was FAR TOO small to fit on the bottom. I don't know if they've corrected this problem, but many reviewers have had to send theirs back because they don't fit together at all.

Double check to make sure you have the correct pieces on each end and that they are the right direction (top/bottom). I had trouble snapping mine together and then I realize I had one piece facing wrong. I made the change and it all went together really easily and everything exactly like it was supposed to.

Yes. We had problems too. There is a front bar and a back bar. They are sized differently. Make sure you use the right ones in the right places.

It did not fit mine, exactly as the comment above indicates. The top will not snap into place. Yes, I could close it if I wanted to it and it would probably stay in place 99% of the time, but I'm not looking for an imperfect fit.

Hi, you have to buy an extra piece get the smallest one first. That's what I did and it fit perfectly :)

I bought the SANUS SYSTEMS BF-31B Wood Speaker Stands for the fronts and the backs. They work fine as along as you do not have any kids running around. The front speakers as you know are very top heavy. I bought some Quakehold! 88111 Museum Putty and put it in all 4 corners on the stands just for a little reassurance. So far everything is working well. The stand have spikes on the bottom and little felt pads which are nice additions. Let me know what you end up doing.

If you owned a soft top previously and this top is replacing the old worn out top, then you can switch everything over to the new top. If you never had a top prior to this one, then you will need to purchase everything separately. Some other tops include them, the windshield channel and tail gate bar, but you will have to purchase the door surrounds separately anyways. Bestop 55012-01 Black Door Surround Kit for 97-06 Wrangler TJ on Amazon for $157.00. Bestop 52600-01 Tailgate Bar Kit for 97-06 Wrangler TJ for $51 and the Bestop 55014-01 Black Windshield Channel for TJ Factory Style for $67. I hope this helps.

I did not have a top speaker on mine and it fit just fine. There was no cut-out to accommodate the models that have the top speaker. If yours does not have that speaker this one should fit your needs.

It fit well ,do'nt tighten anything up until all the bolts are started,nothings perfect you might need to use your draw bar for leaverage too.I flipped my bumperettes over ,they seemed to fit better,(did not bind against the top of the hitch), Make sure your bumper bolts are still loose with bumperettes in place then put in the frame bolts,(like I said you may have to use your draw bar to move the hitch to get the frame bolts started. Then tighten everything up and torque them. Good Luck

David, I also have to replace a Spacemaker II. Did this work for you? My Spacemaker II has trim surrounds to finish off the cabinet opening -- did you find something similar for this one? Pls reply to john@willfam.com

Yes, this top is frameless, but, you do need original door surrounds to use it.

I have the Freedom top, but I would imagine it would be difficult to fit it on with the soft top attached. This is. Super tight fit without top.

Call the TopCase. Find their website and got to costumer service. Best of luck.

if you buy the set that has everything (shelves, roof rack,etc.)the roof rack won't quite fit. There are holes where I put 1/2's, but it wasn't made to fit that size. Still works well though. I don't remember the #, but mine is the size you mentioned.

I don't know. I was not sure for mine so I called Best Top to make sure. My top fits like a glove, it is nice.
