Reviews for Bestop Sunrider for Hardtop for 18-25 Jeep Wrangler JL & Gladiator JT
Absolutely love this top! Very simple to install (less than 30 minutes with 1 person). It looks and feels sturdy. Simple to open 1-handed when you're at a stop. Love having the hard top on, and the ability to open the top when the winter weather permits.
Works great on my JT. It does sit on top of the Mopar handle grips but you can get plenty of bolt threads into the nutplate on the Sunrider mount. Highly recommend using over the freedom panels. Sound is no different from the panels.
Best purchase so far for my JL! At first, I was a little put off by what seemed like a steep price. But once installed, the material quality, engineering, fit and convenience make it all worth it. Installation, is relatively simple, but those z-clips are a bit of a hassle. Without a doubt, trying to fit those z-clips results in torn up fingers and a lot of swearing! But, once installed, the convenience is just amazing! Flip open the locks and push back with one hand right from drivers seat. Same to close it too. I think it's faster to open the top than to roll down the windows! Completely removes the hassle of dealing with those freedom panels, which I just bagged and stored in the garage. Also, gone through a few heavy rain showers and no leaks at all so far. A really solid purchase and definitely worth every penny of what seemed like a relatively high price point.
this should be standard lol - the sunrider top is by far the best purchase i have made for the jl - i no longer need to store the hard tops, worry about when it rains or worry about not wanting to open it because its a process - now its just 2 locks and its open - i love this top - it looks great and works perfect
Love this! It makes it so easy to feel like the top is off without the effort. Very easy installation. But way easier with two people. Light weight, no leaks. Would highly recommend!
Perfect product for those who love nothing but the best. These tops by Bestop are high quality and craftsmanship. You can’t shop Around for a better price, because I believe Bestop sets the price. Well that’s what you get for QUALITY. Loving my sunrider top
Best money I have ever spent on a Jeep. Quality Bestop product with ease of installation. Easily opens and closes with one hand.
It is very good thing for my Jeep Wrangler Rubicon JL. I am happy in my jeep because I can ride with wind in my hair now. I enjoy it. The assembly was very simple. I used original screws from Bestop. It was OK.
I purchased this Sunrider for my JL-U and I love it! I was a bit skeptical when it arrived in a heavily damaged box, but my inspection of the parts found no problems. Instructions weren't bad, but I'm still wondering about that little z-clip and what that wire is all about and what they do, as it was the hardest part to figure out and the pictures didn't help much. However, I did set out to do it alone on the 4th of July (despite the advice to have help, but there was nobody around) and I had no problems. I am semi-handicapped, but I was able to cover the hardtop with a blanket to avoid scratches and lift the assembled top up and slide it into place by myself. It bolted up easily with the supplied hardware, about a two-beer job (but it was hot out!). The test drive was fine and I have found no leakage yet. Very convenient and easy to use and well worth it. I'm just wondering how it will all be when I have to remove and store it for winters, but I guess we'll find out. But yes, I'm glad I bought it and I do recommend it.
Great addition to my JLU! Makes life so much easier. After reading some comments about the instructions, I was curious about the install. Piece of cake. Maybe they re-did them as I found them crystal clear. 35 minutes flat to put on. Highly recommend! Definitely go with the 30oz twill.
