Reviews for QuadraTop Adventure Top S Soft Top for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited 4-Door

For me, the ultimate review of any product is the "Would I buy it again?" test. For my use case, primarily used as a summer top and without the rear windows, I would consider buying the Adventure Top S again. If this was my every day, all year top, I would not buy it again. I previously owned a similar top from another brand, so this isn't my only point of reference.
Pros: no material problems with seams, brackets, etc.; header is sturdy and fits & latches well; easy open/close from the driver's seat; good fit at the rear door surrounds; no rain leaks, and even in an automatic car wash, minimal drips; hook & loop fasteners limit water spraying through the rear window zippers in a car wash; option to roll up rear window.
Cons: air leaks near the front doors add wind noise when driving on the highway with the top closed (These air leaks appear to be a design issue and not an adjustment, installation, or manufacturing quality issue); fit around the rear retaining rails could be better, but this might be remedied by leaving the rear windows in more often than I do and reshaping the window stiffening panels to hold the corner curve better; anti-puddling rods occasionally fall out; the top doesn't fit tightly over the rear seat area, causing minor flapping; sunroof section gets blown forward and stopped halfway open, like a sail, in windy highway conditions, but this is easily fixed with a strap. Finally, the instructions need a thorough rewrite.
In summary, this is a workable, reasonably priced option if you will have your Jeep open much of the time the top is on. However, if you plan on running this top on a daily driver in all conditions, you may be frustrated, depending on your tolerance for small annoyances.

I bought the top a few months ago and wanted to give it a while before I wrote a review. So here it is... The top came quickly and was easily installed. Don't know why they were not able to make it work with the factory window lock levers, but the swap was fairly easy. The fold back section is easy to operate and can be done quickly. The only negative things I have came across are when the top is closed. Two of the bigger issues are when the top is close and the window(s) are down the fold back portion flaps and smacks off the sound bar creating a constant loud noise. The other issue is the same area, when it is parked and rains the water puddles and balloons the top down (no matter how much its adjusted). It impressively hold about 2-3 gallons of water. If there is enough water and time it must come through the seam, as once I was out of town and came home to a lot of water on the top, in my sound bar and rear floorboard.
I think one additional arched bar going across the foldback assembly would cure all the issues in this section. The only other thing I wish was easier would be the back window. You have to undue parts of the corner sections to get the locking bar out just to roll it up and put it back.
Pros: Easy to install
Fit was accurate
Is quieter than my old soft top
Con: Top hold water in head section (will leak if enough water and time)
Top flaps and creates flapping sound off sound bar area
Overall a decent top for the price but could use some simple improvements. I am already working on mine.

Bought because of price and style, because of powercoat over threads, not have unknown size tap, had to buy $9.00 worth of new hardware for quick release. Soft top flaps in wind, have it as tight as I can, rain don't drain If in outside, can see light throw the flip top, even when pushed all the way shut. Institution and YouTube video don't show what one small 2 inch tie down peace is or where it goes. Took about 3 to 4 hours to install, with running to hardware store

Not bad. Installation had it's problems. The rear right bolt that went though the roll bar cross threaded. The top does puddle. It takes a bit of time to stretch. I did have a part that was not on the parts list that I don't know where it goes. Instructions were mediocre but if you're handy you can figure out. Overall decent top keeps me dry in heavy rain. No problems a month out. I will say this is the second Quadratec product I bought that was just a little off with fitment of bolts in one spot. Probably won't go with their brand again unless it's for my son's Jeep TJ.

What I loved about it was the way it looked and the ease of throwing the top back. I had a problem with mine pooling water and the fit was so tight that I had trouble with the back window zipper, and where it tucks in behind the passenger doors. The deal breaker was when it began leaking so bad that me an my wife would were soaked. Same things that had been mentioned by a few others on here. I called Quadratec and there customer service was awesome.

In general I am fairly pleased with the top.

I have an issue with water pooling on the top and have not had an opportunity to adjust the top. I have the front latches as tight as they can go, so will need to try and adjust by pulling the rear Velcro closure tighter.

I also am getting a fairly loud whistle from the windshield / front door area as I drive. Have not driven in heavy enough rain to assess how that equates to water leakage yet but I fear that it may be significant based on the sound of wind. Should be able to mitigate with some foam.

Overall it is a nice top, however, I think the fit and finish could be a little better. The back where the windows zip in and the back panel zips in the corners don't fit as well as I think they could. there is a support rod that rides between the top fabric and the roll bar and if you have the side and back windows out the top flops around too much and the bar falls out. Overall it is a nice top.

The Adventure S Top is a good summer option if you are looking for a cheaper alternative to the standard Jeep soft tops. I prefer the fastback look to the stacked accordion of the fold down tops. Installation takes a lot of time, but it was not frustrating or difficult.

Pros:
* The fliptop sunroof works great and the addition of a small metal retainer clip solves the problem that some had with the top catching air at high speeds.
* With side windows removed and rear window out or rolled up, it's just like a bimini.
* No leaks so far

Cons:
*Despite Quadratec's claims, you can't remove or roll up the rear window unless you remove the side windows. If the side windows are not zippered to the back window there is nothing to prevent them from sliding outward. We lost a corner insert on the highway due to this (Quadratec promptly replaced it).
*The fit is not perfect, the piece that overlaps the rear doors never sits right and it takes a lot of fiddling with zippers and snaps multiple times to reinstall rear and side windows. Okay for in the driveway on a hot day when things are loose, but would be tough to accomplish in a sudden rain storm. I just leave them off most of the time and park in garage.

Went on easy enough even hungover. But I've only taken the window panels out twice and the back window zippers are torn and the stitching is coming undone. Looks cool but not as sturdy as I hoped.

I really like the look of the top and the convenience of the sunroof. Still have alot of difficulty aligning the back window. The strain also causes the right side to pull away from the frame.
