[QUOTE="MacGuyver, post: 434231, member: 18877"] Sorry for the delay in response. Grats on the new jeep, I'm jealous of the top, the doors, and the color. A great find for a good price. Premium top is is just a different material. Feels more like cotton, not sure how it hold the weather out. When you touch it, 'premium' makes sense. However performance wise I don't think it matters. Possibly less wind noise due to the softer material, but I don't think it's much, and looking at the vid that is certainly a standard. In part because it is original to the jeep, and because the vid got close enough to show the material. Seems to be in pretty good shape. The most important thing from the vid was the rear window to me. It's important because if you ever need to replace the rear window you need to get the right one. Early JKs had a smaller rear window than later. You can see the same thing on the hard tops. Early JK (up to 11 or 12, rear window was straight up from the rear gate, later the window are wider than the gate. Easy check. However replacement ones are annoying to figure out what you are getting, take care when removing them from the jeep in the summer. they scratch super easy. On the other side, if you ever replace the top, any top will fit on any JK. You do need door surrounds and frame for whatever top you get. I'm not sure how the door uppers work though with regard to different tops. [/QUOTE]
