Reviews for Quadratec Softbond 5-Layer Cab Cover for 97-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ
Just received cover for my 1998 Wrangler. Fist off, good quality, good price. Why not 5 stars? Well, none of the straps would hold: pull them tight, they immediately loosen like there was no bite in the buckle. I then realized the straps were threaded the wrong way through the buckle. I fixed and they work just fine now. I have picture if anyone wants to see.
I have to say, this emergency cover is top quality. Only thing I would change is the clips to be a bit bigger to grip on more places. I do appreciate the attention to detail that went into this top. So many straps to secure it to the body. Well done Quadratec.
Perfect for the quick cover, but it is snug and a light bar does make you make for some adjustments (i.e. I have to put the top down and have a boot to cover the top in the back). But still much quicker than having to put on the sides and back. Keeps Jeep dry.
Nice product. Wish it came with a drawstring bag
I actually bought this for my buggy which has similar dimensions to a TJ. It fits it very well! The material is different from what I expected but it’s thicker and seems well made. It should work very well for my application! I only gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it hasn’t been rained on yet but I’m not anticipating anything under the cover getting wet.
Took my doors off and used the cover. It did not quite cover my door area on my 1998 Jeep. I noticed that when putting it over the Jeep the stitching on the back drivers side was screwed up. I had to take out the stitching and resew the cover. Manufacturing on this item was not great but I made it work.
the seams are not waterproof. the number to call above is not in service
Beware….Not waterproof!
Pros
1. Nice look.
2. Easy to put on.
Cons
1. I’m sure this would work somewhere other than Florida where there is “light rain”. But any heavy rain and the water goes right through the material. There is no center support so it pools above the driver and passenger seats, had to use a 2x4 in the middle to prop the cover up (similar to a boat cover).
2. The fit on the doors is very loose. Again with heavy rain and wind the water has more places to enter.
This cover is really nice but it's to tight to fit right, I hope they have one that fits better.
Even with the door surrounds off and the top down, the cab cover did not fit properly. The side mirrors were folded in but still caused fitment issues. The only way to get this to fit is to remove EVERYTHING. I wanted something that could be thrown over the cab with the fastback top up because I like running with the windows and upper half doors removed. It takes longer to drop the top and put the cab cover on than it does to just put the doors and windows back on. Unless you commonly run with your Jeep completely naked, I do not recommend buying this.
