You will need to remove the soft top hardware first. There will be 6 star hex bolts. You take them off and you should be able to remove the hardware. You will be down to metal on the sides. You will then be able to slide the hard top on and lock it in the front just like the softtop locked in. You will then have to put the bolts back on.
You lick it!
Yes
nope, you have to remove the hard top first.
instructions come with the soft top...its not hard i have only used Besttops as replacement tops for mine and install is about an hour
If the Jeep was originally a soft top, you can put a hard top on it quite easily.
Yes.. the body already has the mounting holes for the top. I originally bought my Jeep with soft top and then got a used hardtop. No issues - just be sure to remove the soft top mounting hardware.
Yes
it is not hard,only when put in oven,so it is soft
No, the 95 is a YJ, and the 97 is a TJ, they shouldn't match up.
it will become soft
The CJ line of hard tops will fit on your YJ (87-95) Jeep. I have a 1995 YJ and it originally had a soft top on it. A previous owner put a CJ hard top and CJ hard doors on it instead. I think it is a 1970's era hard top and doors. JPMagazine just recently ran an artilce that showed TJ soft tops on a YJ too, with a little modification (Oct or Nov 2007 issue I believe).
because pure gold is soft they put other minerals in it to make it hard
