I bought a 98 TJ a few weeks ago.  The soft top was a little rough so I bought a new one.  The new top will not attach to the frame.  The old top that came off had a plastic strip that slid into a slot on the frame at the front and the new top is supposed to screw on, but there is no holes for the screws in the frame.  Could this be a YJ top frame on a TJ?  Here is a pic of the jeep and a picture of the top frame folded down showing the header where the front of the top is supposed to attach.
Thanks for any and all help.

it may be an aftermarket frame, i think its a supertop, the slot will allow you to swap on a bikini top without undoing all the screws. www.bestop.com may be able to help
