While soft tops, summer and Jeeps belong together, you might wonder if you can rush things along and break out the soft top for spring. Part of this depends upon where you reside and where you intend to drive.
One important consideration is that the soft top you snap onto your Jeep is waterproof, since you will probably encounter rain. Most will be, but it still pays to make sure. With a soft top you can expect a cooler ride, so having a good heater is necessary.
The optimal CJ5 soft top and doors should be durable enough to hold up during spring driving. A replacement top from Bestop will use the Jeep’s original factory soft top frame and come with canvas and windows. For the windows, you can choose either clear or privacy tinted window versions. You should have a wide selection of colors to get the look you want.

Since spring still throws some tricky weather at you, you will want to place a high value on durability. A complete soft top will include the canvas and windows (with or without the tint), and it will also include the folding frame and all of the hardware for installation. For best results, look for a top that meets your needs in these critical areas:
- Manufactured by top brands such as Bestop or Rampage
- Solid fitment for your make make and model Jeep
- Fits into your budget

If your spring excursions take you off the pavement, make sure you have added protection with an aftermarket CJ7 windshield frame. This is a smart way to reinforce your Wrangler and get it ready for the warmer months.
