Reviews for Bestop All-New Trektop NX Soft Top for 18-22 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited
I think I got a returned top from Quadratec. The pieces were all unwrapped and loose in the box that was in rough shape. Everything but one washer was there so I started the install. I had a washer from another project. About half way through I realized two of the mounting brackets were cracked. I called Quadratec and got the run around. Spent 90 minutes on the phone and was told they ordered two new brackets. Haven't received them yet and it's been a couple weeks. I JB Welded the old brackets and finished the install. I hope I get the new brackets to swap out. In the meantime, I love the top, great fit and easy installation. Looks great. Just don't drive much until the new mounting brackets arrive and I can swap them out. I'd give the top 5 stars, the installation directions 3 stars and the jury is still out on Quadratec.
Allow extra time to install, instructions are not very clear. Bought for my wife's Jeep and she loves it so that all that really matters!
The top and delivery was perfect. The only installation issue is with the instructions showing how the bow links are to be installed. It shows upside down, as well as the youtube videos online. Later in the videos, they show the bow links reversed which fixes the issue.
Love this soft top! Only cons was the install definitely takes time & patients, but totally worth it!
Installed the top last weekend. As noted by others, the instructions could be better but worked through it. I have not experienced any issue with the back window flapping and being noisy at interstate speed. Nor have I had any issue with the back seal coming loose. The black fast back look is great with my 2020 fire cracker red Sahara.
Love this top! Better than I expected. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars if the rubber on the tailgate bar does not stay in place. Always have to press it back on before shutting the tailgate.
Put this top on our 2018 Jeep unlimited JL. Looks great and I'm glad I sprang for the canvas over the vinyl. If it still looks and performs well a year from now, I'll bump up my review to five stars. The install was a pain in the butt- but with the youtube video running while we were working on it, we managed to get it installed in about five hours and remained married. Do not attempt unless your patience is at full strength.
I purchased this top for my 2018 4 door JL sport install took about 4 hours top looks great on i havent had issues with any flapping noises at higway speeds as other reviewers, and is actually seems just as quiet as when hardtop is on ,sunrider feature is nice easy open and close,issue i have seems like to get top completely off jeep you need to unbolt the two sunrider hinges to be completely topless.and yes written instructions were poorly done, bad images and sometimes confusing.with back window in place and tailgate bar on forget about getting anything into the trunk area.all in all so far happy with top time will tell how well it lasts in elements.
From the reviews, this is a love it or hate it item. It really changes the look of the vehicle. I like it. I also like the capability of having the hardtop and soft top. I was able to install the top myself in about 4 1/2 hours. We took off on a 1500 mile trip 2 days later. My wife loves the Sunrider roof. I didn't notice any flapping noises at highway speeds, radio at normal volume (same as with the hardtop). Louder with the Sunrider and windows open. My big drawback was the installation instructions. Some areas are unclear and others are downright confusing. I watched the video (2X) before starting and it cleared up a lot, but the written ones are bad.
In all I'm happy with the purchase and would recommend buying.
For the manufacturer, it would be nice the put a spre part in the bag for items not available at the local big box or hardware like the plastic bushings. I dropped one, never found it, fortunately I was able to cobble one that would work.
This is an awesome top. We got the 30 oz. twill and it looks good and appears to be very high quality. The fit and finish are really good and we love the fast back styling. The sunrider feature is nice ... very easy to open/close with one hand from inside the jeep. The reason for 4 stars is that the written installation instructions are very poorly written. You should watch the installation video from BestTop as that is much easier to follow and more importantly it is accurate. The written install instructions are inaccurate (e.g., parts drawn incorrectly, etc.) and often confusing. However, the result was worth the effort and we've been enjoying it since we completed the install.
