Thinking about getting this top because after a mere 2 weeks my wife is unhappy with how difficult it is for her to open and close the factory soft top. We also can't pull into the garage with the top halfway open. This top appears to solve both problems. And I dig the fastback look.
Seeing a lot of posts about vibration noise on the highway, but can anyone tell me if it's worse or similar to the factory soft top? Seems like everyone here started with a hard top.
Thanks!

putting back on my hardtop for the fall and winter tomorrow and can’t remember how the brackets on the 2-door went on . Does anyone have photos of what it looks like ???

Arrows pointed up front and on the inside. Line up the 3 bolt holes and you got it. I would make them hand tight and then test fit the two front sections to try and center the pins. If not you will get a lot of clicking from being not centered. Pretty simple deal tbh.

Thanks. When you say inside you mean the bulk it bracket sits inside the vehicle right?

I used my 2 door Havoc top all summer. The retainer clip provided with the top only worked so, so. It allows for a lot of movement. I removed that clip strap, and installed 2 Velcro Cinch Straps (one on each side). This eliminated all of the movement encountered when the top was folded back. My top worked great and was reliable all summer.

Do you have a picture of your solution?

I would send a pic, but I’ve already removed the soft top for the season. Below is a pic of the strap I removed, and what I replaced it with. I put the cinch strap in the same location I removed the original clip strap from. And I also added another one to the passenger side in the same location. Only needed to make minor modifications to the cinch straps by slightly drilling out the eyelet holes in order for the bolt to fit through.

So I installed this top on my two door two days ago. Took about three hours; 90 minutes of which was figuring out the Guangzhou destructions for mounting the two rollbar brackets over the front seats.
I've never had a ragtop before; drove it at 75 MPH with the windows shut and it's not too bad.
The question is; how do ya'll store the rear window?!?
Just flip it up under the velcro cover on top?
Completely remove it (unbuckling THREE buckles) and store it in the bag?
WTF do ya'll do with the tailgate bar?!? I haven't tried, but I bet it does not fit in the bag?!?
Do I have to slide the bottom of the rear window out of the tailgate bar? Because reinstalling that is a PIA!!!
Overall I like the top, instructions need some work.
I would post some pics, but admins won't let me.

You can store al 3 windows in the provided bag (there is 2 dividers of soft material to keep from scratching the windows) and slide it in the Velcro flap up top, there is additional Velcro to keep it in place up there towards the front. The tailgate bar just stays in place in the rear. Once you do it a few times you will get the hang of it.

It’s a pretty simple but effective design. Being all self contained is great, I can have the windows out and stored or put back in in less than 20 mins.

Yes as STX said just remove the rear window bar from the window and put it back in place. Be very careful how dirty and how you store the windows if they rub together dirty they will scratch very quickly. One product I've used for decades is Plexus for the windows works great and removes minor scratches and dirt.
