Bestop Sunrider for Hardtop 5245435 for Jeep JL & JT 2018-2027 | Fits Jeep Wrangler JL, Gladiator JT, 2018-2027, Black Diamond, 3-Year Warranty

This top is wonderful, just what I was looking for. Install was not to bad, it said 30 minutes and that was about right. The fit is pretty good although it seem the drivers side is a tighter fit than the passenger side. Lots of air nose from the passenger side and the latch doesn’t seem as tight. It’s pretty easy to use although the metal handle used to push it back get very HOT from the sun. I had to buy a little oven mitt to use to open it. The color match and fit looks factory.

This was easy to install and it is easy to open and close. I absolutely love it!!!

Easy to install had a friend do it for me. He advised me not to run it thru the car wash it could tear it up. He said might be a little loud but I tested that theory. Not bad at all, no leaks. Good price I love it. Easy to open flip those 2 handles

Love it!!!

I ordered one top, and it did not fit correctly. The entire frame was not straight. Amazon sent me a replacement because BesTop did not return any of my emails or phone calls. The second top I got installed much easier as the frame was straight, but the rear section was either manufactured incorrectly, or the top was damaged in shipping. I sent both of them back to amazon to get my money back. I love the idea of the top, but they are either doing a very poor job of manufacturing the top, or a bad job of packing them and they get damaged. As of the day I am writing this review, it has been more than a month and no replies from emails or voicemails to BesTop. They may not be in business anymore. If someone else was selling a top like this for my Gladiator, I would order it now. Edit: It is now April of 2021, nine months after I had the last issue with this top and I have had no phone calls or emails from BesTop. They still offer this Sunrider top on their website. I don't know why they still sell a product that they won't support or even respond to inquiries about. Edit 2: It is now October of 2021. Still not a single reply from voicemails left, or emails sent, from the manufacturer. Apparently there is no technical support or factory warranty given. Shame. I would love to have one of these tops that looked and worked like they say it will.

Video directions had a slight difference at the start. This one, had a 'barrel bolt' connectors holding the wire to the frame. The video shows what looks like a Better/Easier Z-Bend connector. Took me longer to figure out how to get the barrel bolt screwed in, and they direct to use lock-tite (included) I am not really thrilled with this rather flimsy connection. I will be keeping an eye on that part of the roof. The Middle Support Bracket, fit, but took me way too long to figure out. (Tip: have someone press down on the Roof as you slide in the bracket, its snug, but seems sturdy. Only 2 latches hold down the roof, vs the Hard Tops 2 Latches + the 4 "rotate catch" arms. So again, seems a bit flimsy. Your standard JEEP Tox WRENCH KIT is the right size for the bolts. :) I saw no mention of that in the docs. The docs mention a Torque wrench but no mention of the load? used 4, 80mm bolts and 2 of those screwed in look ugly as they are some 10mm too long. A protective cap over those 2 would look nicer. Noise with it OPEN going down the road was good, had a slight flapping at 40 MPH+. I do not plan on having it open at more than 40 or so. If they had things pre- assembled from the factory (6 bolts) , it would have been like a 10 Min Install. Instead of an Hour. (most of which was just figuring out how to put in 2 screws) It fit our Jeep Wrangler 2025 JLU.

Took me 45 minutes to install it by myself. Easy peasy and looks great.

So easy to install! Brings back the joy of when I was 15 with a geo soft top lol. Always loved the flip up front but hated the soft top rear. I have a JLU diesel and live in Phoenix so keep that in mind while reading this. Same level of quiet as with the freedom top open or closed. Able to light a cigarette with it open at 45 mph. Extremely comfy and don't notice a difference with the ac on compared to hardtop. Got it on just in time for 104 degrees. It's a besttop. It's quality. They did change the z clips to screw ins which is an upgrade in my opinion and the directions were easy to follow concerning that part. The rest I did from memory of the video tutorial. Perfect fit. I love it and I think you will too. I park in a not so great place so soft top is not an option but this blends in and if someone is that motivated to steal they do have 2 bars to deal with. Worth the money, the first ride.

良い季節に、オープンして走行するとサイコーです。

Good

Soy el más feliz con este bestop! Quedo muy bien, lo instalamos en 45 min mi hijo y Yo y no teníamos experiencia.

ممتاز

Es una preciosidad! A mas de 105 Km cerrado y con viento en contra flapea un poco, pero no es nada molesto. Para armarlo fuera del auto, hay una parte donde debes tener mucho cuidado con un tornillo que sujeta el cable de acero de cada lado. Por otro lado, para ser un sun rider, es muy silencioso y hermetico, no se mete ni gota de agua, y abierto bueno... es una chulada! (cuando lo abras, usa gorra, pues no tiene deflector de viento).
