Reviews for QuadraTop Premium Sailcloth Replacement Soft Top in Black Diamond for 97-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ
This will be my 3rd top on my 06 TJ. For me tops have lasted 5 years before they start to tear. The first two tops were factory OEM tops and were sometimes difficult to put up. Mostly above the doors where you have to put that tabs in. This new top is much more pliable and goes up with little effort. My reasons for giving it 4 stars instead of 5 are: . For some reason the drivers side window zipper is on the window pane and the the passenger side is on the soft top (like my other two tops). This made it difficult to get the drivers side window to zip in.. The other thing that they messed up on is the rear window elastic straps that hold the window when it's rolled up. For some reason, they made the strap two pieces with a snap. Unfortunately, the snap won't stay snapped with the window rolled up. I made my own straps with non elastic nylon and velcro. The velcro stays tight and using non elastic, the straps won't sag over time. Overall, I love my new top. And have since switched out my gray fender flares to match the black top.
i just installed this top after buying it almost two years ago,, everything went great , but the drivers side quarter window zipper is missing some teeth. it does look good though.
I've had two of these tops. Pros: Fits great, looks great. Cons: Zippers will break in three years and you'll need a replacement. If you're lucky they will break right before the warranty expires.
Average rating. I've had it for several weeks now, it went on super easy and I love the material and the windows, it fantastic quality for the money and better than the basic bestop. BUT, its super loose, the OEM top is much tighter. The windows flap in the wind and are loud. The roof is also loose so it retains water. Also the plastic tongues for the doors are really loose and barley stay in place. Because of that it has a lower rating. The top does the job for the price.
Easy to install. I have two complaints hence 1 star deduction for each. The back window did not want to zip. I made sure the sail panels were positioned correctly to ensure the zippers were as close together as possible before I started to zip. The back window zipper pull has a small piece of string around the zipper clamped on with a plastic pull instead of using metal zipper pulls like the side windows have. The string ended up pulling out of the plastic clamp upon zipping on the back window. I opened the clamp and placed the string back inside and clamped it back down only for it to pull out very easily once again. I ended up having to use pliers and looping the string through the zipper slider and clamping with the pliers so I could actually pull it and get it to zip. The top corners of the back window are the hardest areas to zip and it ended up cross zipping on the last 90 degree turn at the top. The window is on for now but I need to unzip it past the part where it went off track and rezip. I am going to buy some zipper lube before trying again and hoping it zips much easier this time. Side windows went on fine but are not as tight as I would like them to be. I have not taken it for a ride yet to see how much road noise it has but it seems to fit much more loosely than the factory top.
Overall good top except for one rear window not fitting in the channel correctly.
Absolutely the worse, the only reason this got two stars is because of Quadratec service, and customer satisfaction. They are wonderful to deal with!!!
I am 80% disabled, I have no one to help me, after installing the new top I could not get it to sit snugly with no wrinkles or waves showing on any of the window. Called Quadratec and they sent me a new top. Installing a soft top should be a relatively easy task, if you're not crippled. After installing the second one and enduring neck and back pain, that too looks like crap. The front edge is the most difficult to get precise, you have to work it from side to side to get it to sit correctly. No matter how I attempted this feat on the second top I could not get both sides to sit properly at the same time. The side windows are a bit to big, when you close the doors they rub on the window edge. The back window does not clip in snugly because it's too long, it too is riddled with waves. The entire top is obviously made in China or another third world country with no concern to quality.
You get what you pay for, unfortunately I am living on an extremely tight budget. Next time I will save my money and by Bestop!!!
The start for the zipper on the rear window came off the first time I took the window out. I contacted Quadratec and never received a reply. The material and fit seem good, but I can't believe a zipper would break after one use. I'm not real impressed.
nothing special had to replace 2 weeks after I installed it windows separated from top not happy
The materials are great, but the zippers for the passenger side window were off. I couldn't even close the door if when I had the window in
