Bestop5245417 Black Twill Sunrider for Hardtop 2018-Current Jeep Wrangler JL & Jeep Gladiator

I waited and waited to pull the trigger on this. I just didn’t think it would be worth the money and/or that it would be difficult to install, difficult to use, would leak, etc. I have been VERY pleasantly surprised. Though it says it’s a two person job, I had no trouble assembling and installing it myself and it’s very easy to use. And I really love using it. We’ve had several strong storms and I’ve driven in rain. There are no leaks. I felt compelled to leave this review because of how impressed I’ve been.

Very easy to install, more wind noise. Live in the desert so not much rain, but the little I have had, no leaks so far. Haven't tried to take it off so far, because I like the option of popping the top and enjoying the nice days on the spur of the moment.

I've had a hell since 1986 and have become very familiar with bestop. This was incredibly easy and quick to install. Took it for a quick drive tonight to be sure it didn't fly off on my way to work. I was really happy with how quiet and good it looks.

Fantastic! If your like me and find removing and storing the freedom panels to be a pain this is for you! I love it! Easy to install. Directions can be a bit confusing. YouTube the install and your good to go.

There is definitely an improved version and that’s what I got. Installation was easy. No weird z clips fiddling since there is an improved design that you just screw in the system.I’ve seen videos of the top flapping at highway speeds. Well that’s been improved too. The top is secured to the bars now so there can be no flap.I drove windows up at 80mph and can converse normally on Uconnect and in person. Windows down sounds like the windows down and with no flapping. I was a bit concerned about purchasing due to noise levels but I barely notice a difference from the freedom panels. The rain beats down on it like a normal convertible would sound.This product is great!

Great investment in my Jeep. Extremely pleased with the quality of this product and the ease of installation. Took my Jeep directly to an automatic car wash and had no leaks!

GAME CHANGER!The best thing you can buy for your hardtop Jeep.Once I installed it I had a little wind noise coming in. The brackets that the clamps hook to had to be loosen and pushed forward as far as they could go. The top is as tight and windproof as possible now. You use the jeep tool kit to do this. 30 second fix.

The install was a bit of a pain. The instructions from Bestop are easy to follow, but one step in particular is a pain. There are alternate methods for install you can find on YouTube or from distributors like Quadratec, and I recommend using those instead. Pre-assemble this thing as much as possible OFF the Jeep, then place it with two people and finish. Keep an eye on your weather strips and door seals as you tighten everything up. I ended up using a little 3M tape to keep things where they should be because some of the factor seal was getting folded over and smashed up when the door closed (Top/front side windows.Once it’s on you have a great product that will do exactly what it claims- opening and closing the top can be done with one hand and from the comfort of either seat. If you’re short or have shoulder problems, you might have to kneel in the seat to operate it.Also, I ran this through the automated carwash and had no problems. I did ask the attendant if their machine was safe for it beforehand, and suggest you do the same.
