Reviews for MasterTop Door Surround with Tailgate Bar Kit for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK
I bought a bowless top for my Jeep and needed this kit so I can install it.
Dropped one while taking it off and it cracked. Going with the same as I had to get replacement in case it happens again.
Easy install
I wish I bought these years ago. Good fit for my 2007 jku. I didn't even need the instructions. Very straight forward. Added my old bikini top and already works WAY better than strapping it directly to the roll bar.
I like the door surround for my bikini top, I bought a cable style bikini top, you can use the bikini top without the surrounds but if it rains you get wet and it also does not look a s good, spend a little extra, get the surrounds, they are easy to put on and take off and it keeps the bikini top on straight, minimizes flapping also, to each his own but I like the surrounds.
Overall, these are fantastic and met my needs perfectly. The only drawback I have found is that the top is not solid, so if water gets in, it sits there for awhile and splashes out as you are driving.
The Door Surround is very good set up. Easy to install and looks good. But I found out that it is not really needed if you are not using the complete soft top. For the mini top like I was wanting, I didn't need it.. I spent money for something that I won't use again with the mini top.
Not very precisely cast in plastic and the attachment points (plastic "buttons" that are supposed to pop into receiving holes) did not line up perfectly. As a result, my top leaks terribly over the rear windows. I had standing water on the floors of the back seat. I'm praying for a less rainy spring in New England.
The kit came with decent direction but with in 3 days the right side front rround pice broke the part that the top is held down by, making the surround kit useless!!!
