Would be interesting if jeep makes future gen hardtop even more module where the back qtr side panels and rear left hatch are also modular from the top for even easier storage. Not sure if that is feasible but would be convenient, especially for storage and also would be a one person task.

It’s more popular because the 4 door is a better family vehicle than the 2 door. Way more practical.
