Insight on aftermarket hard tops?

[Dambrino1]

Hello all-
I recently damaged my factory hard top on my 2013 JK, and am looking for a replacement. I am leaning towards buying another MOPAR top, But wanted to know if anyone has any insight on aftermarket hard tops. I read some reviews and looks like there are either cheap hardware or leak problems with the ones I looked at it. Appreciate any insight you folks can provide!

Freedom tops tends to leak. I have one, leaks in the passenger side.

If JK aftermarket hard tops are anything like TJs, then they all have issues with leaking, fitment, etc.

I personally would buy a factor Mopar hard top, and nothing else.

Yes, some have issues with leaking freedom panels, but I've never had those issues, neither has anyone I know with a JK either. So, it's hit or miss, but at least you know the top is quality fit and finish, made to OE specs.
