Well, I didn't get more than 30 seconds into trying to install my soft top for the first time when I had the horrible realization that it was not going to work with my Gobi Rack. I never had a soft top with my TJ and I didn't think much about it when the JK I bought off the lot came with the dual-top option. You can see in these two photos from an installation video on Youtube that when the top goes up and down, it requires a lot of verticle height. With the rack on, you only have about 4 inches of space between the rack an the roof.
Technically the rack and top do work together, but you have to unbolt the rack at the front and then fold the whole rack back on its hinges to make room for the soft top to go up or down. Not exactly what I want to be doing when it starts pouring... The Gobi rack doesn't fold all the way back flat, it only goes 90 degrees vertical. So you need second person to hold it (which is awkward and heavy) or you have to devise some sort of leg or support, and pray a big gust of wind doesn't come. None of this is what I had in mind.So, I decided that the top had to go. I checked out Quadratec and the jeep dealership, both sell the Mopar Sunrider top for $1500! I tried unsuccessfully to sell the top on craigslist and jeep forums for a while. In the end, I had to lower my price to $650 to sell it. My plan is to purchase a Bestop Trektop.I'm not too concerned about cargo space with a roof rack and an offroad trailer. The top of the top just rolls up, so I am hoping I can sqeeze it under ther Gobi Rack.
