Prices typically range from about $400 to $1,800 as of 2024–2025, depending on the Wrangler model, whether you choose an OEM Mopar top or an aftermarket alternative, and whether the kit includes the top only or the full hardware with windows.
Pricing landscape
Three main factors drive cost: the Wrangler generation and body style, the choice between OEM and aftermarket, and what components are included in the kit.
OEM Mopar soft tops
Original equipment manufacturer tops from Jeep's Mopar line are the most expensive option but are designed for a precise fit and long-term durability. Typical ranges by configuration:
- Two-door Wranglers (TJ/JK-era): around $900–$1,400 for the top with basic hardware and windows.
- Four-door Wranglers (JK/JL-era): around $1,100–$1,600, with optional glass or other features.
- Newer JL/JK generations with premium fabric and glass rear window: often up to $1,600–$1,900.
OEM tops come with factory-style fit and often warranty coverage, but price reflects that alignment and service support.
Aftermarket soft tops
Aftermarket tops provide lower upfront costs and broader feature options. Price bands vary by fabric quality, window type, and included hardware:
- Top-only kits (fabric with windows but without door surrounds or full hardware): roughly $250–$500.
- Top with windows and basic hardware (frame, bows, hardware): about $400–$900.
- Premium aftermarket kits with glass rear windows, UV treatments, and upgraded fabric: typically $700–$1,100 or more.
When shopping aftermarket, verify compatibility with your specific Wrangler year and model and check user reviews for weather sealing and fit.
Other costs to consider
In addition to the top itself, there are associated costs that can affect your total budget:
- Installation or professional labor: roughly $100–$300, depending on service location and whether the kit includes all hardware and alignment work.
- Shipping and sales tax: variable by retailer and location; some sellers offer free shipping on higher-value orders.
- Windows and seals replacement: vinyl windows are cheaper ($20–$110 each) than glass windows ($80–$300 each), and replacing seals or weatherstripping can add cost.
Budgeting for these extras helps avoid surprises and ensures the top fits properly and seals against weather.
Choosing the right top
To select the right soft top, consider your climate, daily driving use, and how you use the Jeep. If you frequently go open-air and rely on a factory-like fit, a Mopar top may be worth the premium. If you want to save upfront and are comfortable with DIY installation, an aftermarket kit can be a smart option. Always confirm compatibility with your specific model year and door configuration.
Summary
Jeep soft tops vary widely in price, generally from about $250 on the low end to well over $1,600 for factory-grade equipment and premium aftermarket kits. Your best bet is to identify your model year, decide whether you want OEM fit or aftermarket flexibility, and factor in installation and window options. With careful shopping, you can balance cost, fit, and weather sealing for your Jeep.
