    As of right now there isn't a discount. I am working on new pricing with Winziger for this year.

    Is this only a complete kit? Side brackets sold seperately?

    Sorry for the late reply. Didn't get a email letting me know there was a reply. It's a complete kit.

    Here is the updated photo of Version 2. The difference between the two is the top latches have rounded edges.

    What is the fitment like with these brackets? As of right now, my OEM latches don't really hold the top as snug as I'd like (causing top squeaking). Would these help solve that (to a certain degree) I might prefer these over the shift knob extension (from CR) that I was going to get from you.

    I've ran this style of hardtop bracket for years. Hardtop fits snug and never with them coming loose.

    Just installed my front brackets today (had issues getting old ones off) and I am VERY impressed with these, very high quality and perfect fitting parts. I highly suggest these, I also have the security bolt kit which is very nice looking and will hopefully do its job one day, but hopefully that wont ever happen;p

    Hey chris,
    How tight were you able to get your hard top? How snug up to the windshield frame were you able to get. I feel like brackets won't be able to pull it snug. Did you have someone push while you tightened?

    Fwiw I'm looking to go this option soon as I'm planing a full cage.

    I was able to get it very tight, the middle sticks up a little and makes a tad bit of noise but its only noticable at high speeds and even then its not bad.

    I couldnt be happier with this product!

    What methods do you guys use for tightening? Do the rear first (having someone push foward) or do the front first then rears?
