Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years.
What's up, guys? I'm Andy from 1A Auto. Today, I'm going to show you how to take the top down on this 2015 Jeep Wrangler. If you need parts for your vehicle, click the link in the description and head over to 1aauto.com.
We’re going to start at the back. Open the rear gate. You want to take this rear window out. We're going to come over here and I'm just going to disconnect this, underneath here. Slide that up. We'll do the same on the other side. Just fold it up—just like that. We need to loosen up the zipper on this side; un-zipper it to this part, and we're going to just grab this bar; we're going to rotate it out. I'll slide this inside and then undo the zipper all the way. Slide it out. Now you can take this bar out. It just slides out. Then you can roll this window up for storage or place it in a safe place. You don't want to scratch it.
Next, we're going to take these little brackets out. To get these out, just grab on the back side and rotate, and it'll un-clip—just like that. Do the same for this side. Just rotate it; take that off.
Next, we're going to do the side windows. Just take this Velcro off and we're going to open the rear door as well. Un-zipper this—just like that. Pull that out and then we're going to slide it out, over here. Fold it down. It should slide right out. Again, be careful not to scratch these. Put them in a safe location. Do the same with this side. Pull the Velcro off; open the back door and undo the zipper. Pull this out over here; pull that one out; set it aside.
Underneath here, we're going to grab—you can pull down on this a little bit. You want to pull it out from underneath there. You want to do that on both sides. Just like that. Do the same on this side. Pull it down; slide it out. It's a little bit tricky. Just like that.
At this point, we're going to go to the front. Pull down your visors. Just move them over to the side. There're two clips, right here. Pull that one off; pull that one off. You can push up on the top. This can fold over—just like that—and then there's a release, over here. Push down on the release on this side and I'll just let it sit on the release, so I can walk to the other side. Push that down and we can fold it back—just like that.
When I'm going to remove the top, there is a bracket, right here. There're some Torx bolts, right there. I'm actually going to take these two bolts out first. These happen to be 10mm bolts. I believe these are aftermarket bolts. I would assume that on most vehicles, they're going to be a Torx bolt—because everything else is Torx—but on this vehicle, it happens to be 10mm. Use a 10mm socket and I'm going to loosen these up. Take these two out. I'm going to do the same on the other side. I'm going to leave the bracket attached to the frame of the jeep—just like that. Take those out.
At this point, I'm just going to slide the top up; just grab the whole top. Slide it up and I can slip it out of the brackets; just pull up on it and slide it out.
Next, we're going to take these two brackets off. There're three screws—you just do them by hand. Take this one off as well. This one is going to be a shorter one. The two longer ones are on the outside. Before I take that long one out, I'm going to just grab this bracket, right here; slide it out. It just slides outwards. I'll take this one off; unscrew that. Then this is going to pop up over here; slide out, and it's going to slide up. There's a pin under there. These actually fold for better storage. Then I'm going to do the same for the other side.
