FWIW, I have a 12 that came with a hardtop, after a few years I found a good deal on CL for a Trek top NX, it was fun, versatile & easy, (sounds like a good woman!) but I had to pull off my rear headrests so they didn't bulge the rear window out, and I had some flapping that I couldn't seem to get worked out. A few months later, another ad popped up for an un used factory soft top from a 2012 dual top option. Needless to say, the hard top hasn't been on since. I really like my factory softy, but I won't sell the hard top anytime soon, just in case, I'd never spend the money to buy another if I later regretted selling it. My softy is hardly any louder than the hard top, and doesn't flap like my NX did. If you end up looking for a used factory top, there are a few differences in the newer years, different surrounds, and a slightly bigger back window, and I think a different header, and my rear corners have a plastic stiffener in the sail panels. Also mine is a 2 door, I have no experience with a 4dr.
