I notice that the hardtopguy has two different sets of hardtop hardware...

One set for 2000-2001, and a different set for 2002-2009...

Are these sets identical except for some extra stuff included in the 2000-2001 set? The set is a little more expensive, so I assume that there are more parts to support the earlier models maybe?

 

Just order the set for your model year, which accordingly to your profile says you have a 2004.

 

Sorry, I did not make my post clear. I am interested in buying the brackets used and I want to know whether or not I should be looking for a particular set of brackets for my 2004 model year. Or if all the brackets are basically the same. Thanks!

 

I believe all the brackets are the same. I think the difference in the 00-01 install kit are the extra defroster components.
