Reviews for Bestop Sunrider for Hardtop for 18-24 Jeep Wrangler JL & Gladiator JT
Easier install than my JK. This is my 2nd Sunrider and love the quick open and close of both of them. Very happy, would highly recommend them. No leaks and very minimal increase in wind noise if any at all.
Excellent solution for having the best of both worlds! I installed my sunrider top about a month ago now, and I'm very pleased with my purchase. Basically it lets me enjoy my jeep for the reason I bought it, no longer need to remove clumsy hard sunrider tops and store them, just a flip of the latches and it's open top time! Installation was simple, six screws and a couple of z clips and its on. If your on the fence, don't wait any longer, go for it!
Yes, it is a little pricey but I have no regrets. So much better than dealing with removing and stashing the freedom panels. The only drawback would be that the wind is a bit worse with this down than simply with the panels out. But I get so much more use out of this. It's a positive trade off. Installtion was pretty easy doing it alone. I only had one bit of difficulty where I thought the bolts were going to be too short until I realized the rails were not seated fully. So that part was tricky getting them fuly seated but once I realized the issue I sailed through it. Once I got them seated good it was a breeze to finish and it fit like a glove. Had I been outside with better light I'd probably not have had that trouble. But it was a rainy cold day so I put them on inside my garage with less than great light. Getting the z-clips in was not super easy nor was it that hard either though it took a try or two. With it closed I see very little noise difference. I have had it on a bit over 2 months and went on a 3 week business trip right after installing it and it was outside in a lot of heavy rain and not a drop got through. And I have since driven in rain quite a bit and it has remained dry. So it has been leak tested really well and came through with flying colors.
Took about an hr to install! Very impressed no leaks and really pretty quiet on the highway!
Ordered last week for my 2020 Gladiator Rubicon and had it installed within an hour of delivery with minimal issues. Very tight fit and nice look. No leaks during its first time out overnight in the rain. Surprisingly quiet when closed, not horribly different that Freedom panels with Hot Head liners. Can still rock the house with it open or closed. Living in Ohio this is certainly a 3 season top, who knows - may shoot for winter too when the time comes. Highly recommend. Absolutely perfect.
Purchased this for my 2020 Jeep Gladiator. Much easier than dealing with two panels! Very satisfied with the purchase so far! I've only been out in light rain, and at this time have had no issues with leaks. *Be sure to follow the instruction to avoid a leak causing gap!*
Installation was easy, although a bit frustrating. The directions provided were updated from the ones shown online (2020 vs. 2019). Getting the Z-clip inserted and rotated and keeping it in place (even with tape as noted in the provided instructions) was extremely difficult. I found that watching the video and following the online directions which have the door rails installed first then attaching the deck, proved to be easier (although the Z-clips were still difficult).
Operation is easy and smooth. Just release the latches and open. And closing is just as easy! Having the top open with the windows up does cause a bit of wind buffeting which is easily remedied by cracking the back windows.
There is a slight increase in outside noise or road noise, however that is to be expected when going from the hard top to the soft top.
Overall, love the top! Makes it so much more convenient to ride with the top open!
Clearly the best addition I have ever had to any of my Jeeps! The ability to open the top in 2 seconds and close it just as fast is a game changer.
Installation was a bit of a pain but then I watched the Quadratec install video and it all came together. Much easier than the instructions that came with the product. First thing I did was run my Jeep thru the high pressure car wash and zero leaks. Very impressed with my new top!
Very happy with this top. Arrived in good condition and installed, by myself, in just over an hour. Went through a “touchless” car wash right after install - no leaks.
Great fit, easy install, easy to use. Super happy with this.
