We just got it this week after waiting for months. Extremely happy with it. I think I'll get another one for my Jeep. This is the install for my wife's Jeep, since she has a hardtop, she wanted a softop/bikini and this seemed to fit the bill.
I thought the installation instructions were very good. The illustrations could have been better, but the step-by-step instructions worked just fine. There are a few things I've noticed that I didn't include in this thread. Please read through the instructions that came with your Trektop and refer to this thread for illustrations and advice. This thread is not intended to replace the instructions, since they are very good.
Step 1: Open the box and lay out all the pieces in the sun so they warm up and stretch out. I had them sitting in the sun about an hour and everything fit just fine. It was about 90 degrees today, so it wasn't as bad as it has been in the past few weeks (100+).
STEP 2: Install the rear support brackets for the rear retaining bar and side spring tension clips. There are 4 brackets (2 driver's side and 2 passenger's side). You'll have to cut a slit in the canvas roll bar covers. Just roll back the covers, position the bracket and cut the slit where the bracket will go through the cover. Very easy. All four brackets use existing bolts in the top of the roll bar.
My four-year-old daughter helped by unzipping the roll bar covers and handing me the ratchet.
