Bestop 52450-35 Black Diamond Jeep Wrangler 4 Door Hard Top Sunrider

Bestop's new and unique Sunrider for Hardtop let's you replace those bulky Wrangler JK Freedom Panels with versatile year-round flexibility. Folding design lets you flip the panel back for an open-sky ride, or simply pull it forward, latch it up for protection from the elements. Includes assembled folding frame with fabric, and custom door rails for quick, bolt-on installation. Removes quickly if desired. Available in our gorgeous black acrylic fabric or OEM quality black diamond sailcloth fabric.

Overall I really like the look of the product but I have a couple concerns. The seal does not fit properly. There are two bulges in the seal and they will simply not stay down no matter what i do. Bestop says each year jeep used different seals and their product can't work perfectly with all of them. I would prefer to see the list of model years from bestop that this top fits perfectly. I could then make a better buying decision. The top also had a couple thread pulls on the top where the fabric was stitched. It is not a big deal but for the price of this top I expect better.

Installation Jeep Wrangler 4 door hard top was painful. It is not difficult or impossible, just painful. The videos are a real laugh. Everything aligns perfectly first time and screws right in. In my case nothing aligned up easily and everything had to be pulled pushed or squeezed to make it work. As for the numerous review comments concerning short flanged screws, I too initially had this same problem but found an easy solution.

With the two knobs loosely installed on the rails, I raised the Jeep Wrangler hard top deck assembly and moved it towards the front just like you would close it and the weight shift to the front of the supports instead of all the weight resting on the back aligned the holes perfectly and they screwed right in without a problem. No need for longer screws.

The bottom line question is would i buy it again. I am undecided at this point. It looks good and did eventually assemble okay but the potential water leaks with the seal bulges are going to be a real issue. I will probably let it sit out in the rain or get out the waterhose before i make the final decision on it. It is also probably just too much trouble to take off to return anyway. This top is a great idea and Jeep should have made it an option as part of a Jeep Wrangler hard top and sof top.

Formerly ordered a rampage padded product, but returned due to major bulkiness and poor construction (it came apart at seams first or second use). This Jeep Wrangler hard top storage bag has been great, and is super easy to store, actually inside the vehicle, verses in the house or garage; unlike the aforementioned rampage product.

If you want a quality made panel cover that's easy to stow and does a great job protecting your panels (especially if you clip the bag w/panels standing upright inside, to back of your rear seat), this is a great Jeep Wrangler hard top storage for you.

Best Jeep Wrangler hard top, love the bigger windows than the soft top, the tint is just right. I installed it by myself, so for those of you wandering it doesn't take a whole crew to pick it up. It weighs probably about 150lbs so be careful if doing it by yourself. No rattles or squeaks once installed, much quieter than Jeep Wrangler soft top.

Surprisingly helped my gas mileage as well by 2-3 mpg, I guess because it's more aerodynamic. The only negative is that the rear window hinges were drilled too high so it would not create a good seal against the tail gate. I just re-drilled them and sealed original holes with black silicone, problem solved. Overall very satisfied.

Jeep Wrangler soft top for 11 years and now decided to go with hard top mainly for security reasons, I just wanted to be able to actually be able to lock up the Jeep. With soft top I never used the tail gate because that would mean having to unzip the rear window, now I can open the tailgate, lift rear window, and with back seat removed I'm actually able to haul much bigger stuff, It's almost like my Jeep converted into a small pickup truck.

In summary, with this top I got better mileage, better security, better visibility, quieter ride, and easier access to tailgate to haul gear.
