Overview
The Rugged Ridge Bowless XHD Soft Top in Black Diamond, part number RUG13750.38, is a fully enclosed, tinted replacement soft top for the 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited four-door models in the manufacturer fitment list. It is a bowless design built to replace a worn-out soft top and remove the need for the bulky OE soft top frame.
The top converts from a full top to a Savannah top, so you can go from a fully enclosed cab to open sky in seconds. It is engineered to form a secure, close fit over the factory sports bar. The supplied whisper bars reduce wind and road noise compared with other frameless soft top designs. Zippered mesh corner pockets add convenient storage.

Before you buy
A bowless soft top removes the need for the bulky OE frame, so the sports bar and the windshield header carry more of the load. Before fitting, inspect the sports bar for cracks, bends or loose mounts, because the top relies on it for a snug shape. Check the windshield header and any aftermarket header you plan to use, and make sure the bolts and mounting points are in good condition.
Frameless tops work best when the sides and rear are tensioned evenly. After the first few drives, re-check the fasteners and the zipper tracks, and look for wrinkles at the corners that may signal uneven fit. Tinted windows should be kept clean and inspected for scratches, which reduce visibility over time.
