I have read on here that they made a few changes to the latching mechanism on the 09. I thought I had read that the 09's will fit older years but Im not sure if older years will fit the 09's. Truth be known I bought the hardtop,safari element doors ,and the rubi wheels and tires before I even had a JK LOL :shaking: Been so cold havent had a chance to try the top on....

Itll fit. they just "improved the latching system", they just moved the front latch to hook into your loop on the top middle of your windshield frame as compared to the 07-08 that hooked onto the top its self. Really doest make a difference. They are all interchangeable.
