Got a dual top option on my JKU rubi, and don't want/need the softop... even though it has the fancy spring assist and improved material etc. Looking to sell it on (and pay for other fun mods)...

Will it fit a 2012, 2011, etc??

This doesn't work going the other way though. A new top will fit on all JK's with all the pieces, but a top from an older JK will not work on a '12 or '13. They made a change to the location of the center bracket on the windshield for the freedom top and it interferes with the older style soft top header.

That is 100% BS. Is this just hearsay or is this your actual experience?

I initially installed an older 2009 soft top on my 2012 Jeep and then later upgraded to a new one. The new soft tops and old soft tops don't make use of the center footman's loop and there is no interference.

I also sold my 2012 hard top to somebody with an 2007 JK. Their Jeep didn't have the center loop in the same place, but the top still installed just fine.
