Reviews for Bestop Sunrider for Hardtop for 18-25 Jeep Wrangler JL & Gladiator JT
I can swap back to the hard panels.
I installed the top and it didn't take long, very well-designed top. We took a 400 miles trip and of the most part the top did well. Wind noises are more compared to the hard top. Once in a while there is a noise, likes something hard hitting each other (or the frame is lifting and come down hitting the roll bar), only on the passenger side. Seems like every time we passed a semi-truck that the noise would be heard, sometime the noise is loud that I thought something was coming loose. I was trying to hold on to the metal frame of the top to feel if there are any movement, but none was detected. Once we got home, I retightened all the bolts (none were loose), I will report back after our next trip.
Makes the Jeep go from inconvenient to awesome. The factory T-tops are a misery, and this is the solution. Shocking that Chrysler doesn't have this as an option. Klunky and difficult installation, but once it's installed it's great. Surprised that the tie-back mechanism is two Velcro straps, and would rather see a built-in integrated mechanical retention mechanism. But let's not lose sight of the bottom line - this item is a game-changing indispensable add-on for anyone who wants to keep the hardtop on the back part of the Wrangler. I'd rate this at 4-1/2 if half-stars were possible to give.
This is a great addition to our JL ! Install is easy and the fitment is excellent. No significant increase in wind noise compared to hardtop. Really easy to operate. Fun factor is great ! My only complaint is fabric slap at highway speeds when being buffeted by rough air around big trucks at speed. I have the heavy fabric version.
Appears to be the best option and well received by users
Love the top but the order stated I would get a $100 gift card I never received. I may have purchased it somewhere else if this lie had not been advertised.
Versatility
I think it will be great to be able to open and close the top easily, especially when it starts raining; and we'll get the cargo space back in the rear which has been taken up by the freedom panel case. I look forward to seeing how well it fits and expect it will not leak.
Ease of use
The best investment I made so far for my Gladiator, the ease of opening the top up and enjoying the view and the outside air is Great!
