Belt-Rail Attachment System - A channel mount system that secures along the leading edge of the rear Jeep tub allowing a thin layer of plastic extrusion to snap snugly into it. Bestop created this unique process over twenty years ago in order to do away with snaps. The belt rail is included in all Supertop and Sunrider kits for all CJ-5, CJ-7 and Wrangler 95 and earlier applications. For Wrangler 97 to present, the belt rail is already included on your vehicle from the factory.
Bow System - The long metal supports located in the rear cargo area that help hold up the soft top. Bestop offers adjustable bows, meaning that the tension of the bows can be raised or lowered to keep your soft top performing well and looking good year round.
DOT-approved - Bestop's plastic windows meet or exceed all of the criteria enforced by the Department of Transportation.
Powder-coating - A rust-resistant process that Bestop uses to protect all metal parts included in our soft top kits.
