    In this video, I'll show you how easy it is to take off the new soft top on the 2020 Jeep Gladiator. This new 2020 Gladiator easily becomes a convertible truck in literally less than 5 minutes! The new soft top on the Gladiator sits right on top of the Jeep so that the new truck bed stays open for storage.

    Was thinking about buying a 2020 used with a soft top but seeing this video saved me from that mistake. The top looks like crap folded up in the back. Thanks for the info!

      If it's anything like the wind-blocking plate in the Porsche Boxster, that probably makes it even calmer/nicer for anyone in the backseat. No wind rushing back forward to fill in the vacuum. That sounds nice!

    Noise and flapping sound with a soft top going down the highway? I have a convertible Mustang and there is no sound but I am sure the jeep will. I am going to get a Gladiator but debating on a soft top. Also, can you put the top down without pulling the window or slide parts, or is that a must? Thanks.

  • @robyork9554
    @robyork9554 2 роки тому +2

    I have a 2021 Gladiator Mojave. I went with the hard top because quite frankly the soft top is hideous looking when open. VERY disappointed in Mopar for such a copout design. I would never put that on my Gladiator and Jeep should redesign it so it lowers all the way down to the bed top. Yeah I know, it will cover part of the bed. So what. If you have something you're hauling back there then put the top back up. It's really that simple.

    Im not sure if you can take the soft top through the car wash. When I owned a wrangler with a soft top the owners manual said not to take it through the drive through car wash. If I had to do it over again I would have bought the hard top.
