I have a JTop installed and cant seem to put the factory top back up. The JTop is totally a must if you enjoy fresh air and no beating sun or glares from any spot of the roof area. It is a bit more expensive and is worth the investment. This top is a game changer.
Did you reinstall the side mounts? Then just fold back the two front corners of the jtop when you drop the the front of factory soft-top into the front guide holes. Haven’t done this yet on mine, but looked straight forward.
