Bestop54923-17 Black Twill Trektop NX Glide Convertible Soft Top 4-Door

Great product! I had no issues with pieces missing or damaged, everything was there and easily labeled in the instructions. I installed this myself with my dad and had only a few issues. First, 3 of the Pan Head Washer Screws broke when attempting to attach the Stray Strap to the #4 Bow. There was no extra hardware included, so we had to make a run to the hardware store. No big deal though. Also, the instruction were okay, but could have been better. We watched a YouTube video to help us through the install, but still struggled on a few things. The windows were difficult to snap on, but we expected that based on other reviews I've read. They suggested letting them sit out in the sun during install to make them stretchier, however the good ole' Missouri weather didn't cooperate as usual. The tailgate bar is the last step and it was very challenging to snap on! We got it kind of close enough, but I'll need to go back and try that one again! We were just ready for it to be done at that point. It honestly does not sound as bad as it seems. We had fun working on this, but be prepared to spend quite a bit of time on it and I wouldn't attempt it by yourself if you don't normally work on cars/Jeeps. Ultimately, I am very satisfied with my purchase! I spent a lot of time researching what would be best for me. I wanted to ditch he hard top, but knew I needed something else to endure the elements where I live as the weather is constantly changing. I am confident that I made a good choice with this top of the line soft top and can't wait to try out the various features!

Bought this for a JKU Jeep and thought, no problem ... this will be a nice easy installation (I was wrong). The installation takes quite a bit of time and work to do. I would try to find a cool place to do the installation (a garage or covered area if doing it in the summer is a life saver ... I think, I had to do it in the southern heat of summer). Top appears really well made, doesn't leak and isn't as loud out on the road as I would have suspected.

I learned from other reviews not to follow the paper directions. i mainly used YouTube videos for installation. I had a power screwdriver that didn't have enough torque behind it to get some of the tiny screws in. I used a manual screw driver by myself for 90% of the install. I couldn't get the tiny black screws in all the way for the black strap they have you connect to the back support bar but I left them half way in and gave up. A month later and they're still holding up. It took my 8 hours by myself with a manual screwdriver and removal of the old soft top and hardware. I love it so far. No leaks, no noise, looks great, an the best part no zippers!! It's worth the extra money and if you're thinking about it don't go the cheaper way for black diamond. Get black twill and do it right the first time. You won't regret it.

I purchased the twill version and I must say its quality material. The tinted windows are a bit dark, but thats common with all the tops I looked into before buying this one. Installation wasn't easy. To begin with the directions tell you that you'll need 16 of one type of screw but it only comes with 6. I ended up buying another 10 screws myself only to find out that you really only need the 6 it ships with. I recommend using an impact driver rather than a simple screw driver as most of the screws are being threaded into the pre-drilled holes as you screw them in and its not easy to do by hand. The directions are very detailed for the most part, but there were a few steps that could have been more clear. I am pretty handy in general, follow directions well and have many hours running a screw gun. If these things aren't true about you I suggest getting some help. Directions say it should take 4 hours to install. Took me a solid 7 because I had to undo and redo some steps after doing them incorrectly. Finished product is very handsome on the jeep however, and I defiantly recommend the twill!!

I've had this installed for a couple weeks now. I wanted to wait until my first heavy rain to write a review. First off, the installation is hard. I'm not going to say how long it took me, because it's kind of embarrassing, but believe me, it was at least as much as stated in the description. Not only that, but at the end of it all, I was sore. I'm a pretty fit guy, workout often, and I needed a day of rest after this. Highly recommend having a friend around to help. I did not until the very end stages and it was a lifesaver.As for the top itself, once installed...I couldn't be happier. I purchased the twill fabric and it looks awesome. Riding with it fully on, there's really no more noise than the hard top. Everything is tight and no flapping at all. And I'm very happy to say, I drove through my first rainstorm today...about 1/2 hour drive in torrential rains (hard to see, even with wipers on high) and I couldn't spot a drop inside the car. It was probably raining all night too, and my car sits outside. Absolutely astonished that there were no leaks. Putting it back into sunrider mode is such a snap. And riding that way is very fun. Taking it to full open mode is also pretty easy, but having a friend helps in putting the fabric all the way back in the trunk. I'd probably knock 1/2 star off for not being able to easily store all the windows in the trunk (it can be done, but it'd be nice to have a bag like what comes with the hardtop - forums say they are close to having a solution - maybe by end of 2017). Other than that, everything is great so far. The pouches in the top are a nice touch.If you're looking for a soft top, stop here. There's no reason not to buy this one.
