A number of Jeep owners don't like driving their Wrangler with the top on. Christopher Hinrichs, founder of Autovation Limited, has a clever solution called JeeTops, which consists of a fixed panoramic sunroof that installs into the Freedom Top three-piece modular hardtop. It's like the best of both worlds!
Bringing the outside in without leaving the occupants exposed to the rain, wind and road debris, JeeTops provide exceptional visibility even for those sitting in the back while blocking 99.9% of UV A and UV B rays.
JeeTops can be retrofitted to every Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited from 2007 through 2012 including Sport, Sahara, Rubicon, Arctic, and Call of Duty models. Production will continue until the 2014 MY. Several colours are available.
The front sunroof panels are made of 3/16″ acrylic (same material OEM engineers use for aircraft canopies and ship portals) and covered by a 5-year/80,000-km warranty. They are said to normally resist scratches and impacts. However, should the top suffer any damage, it can easily be buffed.
The manufacturer advises not to use abrasives on the JeeTops, but rather a microfiber cleaning fabric. Owners should also avoid window cleaning products that contain ammonia.
JeeTops are built in Wisconsin where the demand continues to grow. Christopher Hinrichs want to break through the Canadian market in the next few months. A few retailers already sell the product including three in Ontario. Pricing is set at $1,295.
