Reviews for QuadraTop Adventure Top for 97-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ
I've had this on my 06 TJ for over 6 months now, it hasn't been my favorite purchase. Normally I would have my hard top on for the winter but wanted to see how the soft top would hold up. It hasn't leaked much, just at the rear window some water does manage to get inside. It is a bit noisy compared to the Best Top that wore out. The Best Top was much easier to put up and down and you could take out the windows and roll them into a pouch. This top is not easy to put up or take out the windows and will not roll up so you have to leave them at home or put them in the back seat. The areas around the top of the doors collect water and when you open the doors you get a bit of a shower. Next top will be another Best Top.
Before I had this top I had a Pavement Ends top which is a budget top made by Bestop. It worked fine, but the windows were not tinted and the sunridder feature needed some upgrades to its design. This lead me to purchase the Adventure top from Quadra top. First issue was that the tabs that tie into the sail panels are at least 2Xs longer than the ones on the Pavement ends top. I thought I was going to bust the stiches pulling down on the to get them in. At one point I had almost my whole 230 lbs on the top. I guess this speaks well for the stitching. Second, the windshield header is made from plastic. I'm guessing it has a slight bow that allows rain to POUR in when I am driving down the road. I can actually feel wind blowing through. I cobbled a strap to go around the footman loop to help, but this is kind of a PITA. Maybe I can replace the seal, But it seems fine and it did not leak on my old top. Third the tabs that go into the door surrounds seem to long or the top is too wide. Sometimes the door will catch on the top (on both sides at the same time) and this will cause the door to bend out and leave a gap at the top. As it stands It has torn the weather strip on my driver door cause the top seems too wide. I'm quite disappointed. I thought about spending a little more money and getting the Bestop version. Now I wish I did.
This top doesn't fit a TJ! FOR ME ('98), the back window will not install with or without the rollbar pads. The window needs to be at least 2" wider to zip on both sides. I live in Florida so I use it as a safari top 90% of the time. It was a waste of money to buy this top. DO NOT BUY THIS TOP!
Worse dang mistake of my life to dang tight don't fit worth a you know what , never again
I have not had good luck with this top. Can’t get any of the zippers to zip all the way and nothing is lining up for me. Already broke 3 zipper tabs
