Reviews for QuadraTop Adventure Top S Soft Top for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited 4-Door
I'd say my rating is more like a 3.5. Let me start off by saying though that it looks pretty bad ass. I love it. BUT.....As you can see in the pictures, there are a couple of flaws. The first thing is that it is hard as hell to get on. You will definitely need a second person to help you get it on. I almost feel like it could have been made with another inch on either side, specifically the back window.
Secondly, one window fails to stay tucked in to the door frame. I've removed and replaced several times and it continues to come untucked.
Lastly, the door frame on the drivers side doesn't lay properly. When initially installed, it would not allow the back door to shut. I had to wedge a piece of cardboard in between the frame and body so the frame would sit properly and allow the door to shut.
You might be asking, "why not return it?"
Did I mention it's a pain in the ass to put on??
Did I also mention that it's bad ass?
I don't want to do it all over again. I'll deal. But for those contemplating, these are the issues I had.
I still don't regret the purchase.
Well just took a trip with my jeep and it was windy which I expected it to be . I do like the top easy for me to use but there was a lot of hardware involved versus the one I had for my two door. So taking it off and on for summer and winter is a task.
Top fit okay. The main issue is the tail gate bar. Ours is shaped like a banana so it does seal on the gasket. There's a 1/2" gap in the middle so we have to make sure we don't have any water sensitive items in the trunk when it rains. Also the tail gate gasket has a sharp metal spine that protrudes from the rubber on both ends. My family keeps slicing themselves on it.
I'd give the top a 5 star review if the instruction manual was written step by step and not 2 steps forward and 1 step back!!! The instructions were mainly suggestions to get you more familiar with the parts! I'm a mechanic, I can read diagrams and I know how to do things thank goodness cus your pretty much on your own with somethings. For $700, this fine top should come preassembled as far as possible.
Granted you can't have the entire top down due to the easy access flip down front section, which I've come to terms with. The issue I'm having is rather serious - if the wind is just right, the front section will actually lift up like a sail. Pretty dangerous on the interstate. It just happened to me going 45mph - scary. I'm trying to figure out a way to strap the top down while in the open position to avoid this. If anyone else has had this problem, I'm curious how you have handled this.
This is not a soft top that can be "open-air". I specifically asked the Customer Service rep multiple times and he/she kept "yes, it can be open air". Very very frustrating. All together its a good looking top, and not a lot of noise. Although a couple of pieces that hold the back window on have already broken due to very cheap plastic. The back windows also will not completely velcro together, i had it in the sun for a few days and tried to "stretch" it, and to no avail. I would spend more money and get some better if I was able to re-do my purchase.
I purchased and installed the top. The install was easy. I love the top except where it seals at the rear of the doors, and the fitment at the windshield header. I literally have a half-inch gap where it is suppose to seal at the door supports, and one side of the top at the header passenger side hangs over one side another half-inch. Now, this may be partly the worn door seals, but it certainly doesn't make for a half-inch gap. There is no adjustment without re-drilling new holes in the door supports and custom-fitting the top. I love the features, just not the fitment.
I love this top, and it is very appealing, but there are an important issues that I have noticed. Above the driver and passenger doors, it is only held together with Velcro, and there are approx. 4 inch gaps in the very front on the sides of the windshield. This causes the top to be very noisy, and whenever I have first time riders in my jeep I always hear complains about how noisy it is inside the jeep. That is really the only downside I see in the product. I have read the other reviews on here saying the soft top "flaps", but I've had the top on every which way possible with windows up/down and I haven't experienced any flap unless going highway speeds, which there was only very minor. I am always getting compliments about the looks, and I would love it if I can somehow fix the issue of the noise. Overall would definitely buy again, but I definitely have to look into fixing the noise.
This top looks great on my jeep. But there are some issues with this product. If you put the windows down then it will flap like crazy. When it rains there is a lot of water that pools in the top. And I mean A LOT of water. Also the seam started to come apart in the middle where you have to tighten the straps. A steady rain on my way to work got my 2 front seats nice and wet, and me as well. Had to purchase seam sealer to fix it.
Other than those issues it is a good top. The sunrider is great for a quick moon roof. The windows are a nice dark tint.
I want to give this top more stars, because it looks great. The windows are sharp, especially the back which looks like glass (I don't ever want to roll it up, it looks so good right now). I love the sunroof flip. I had an old top on my YJ with this feature, but it folded back like a baggy pair of pleated khakis. This one is smooth and crisp in the way it folds and sits.
I have only two issues. I don't see an easy way to go completely topless. Which isn't a deal breaker, but some could have concerns. The big thing for me is the noise. If I have the front windows down and the rest of the top sealed up, it is a billowy flapping monster. I'm talking at speeds from 40 and up. I am contemplating using ear plugs to prevent hearing loss. I hope that I will find some tweak to get this thing tighter, but i haven't found it yet. Please, Quadratec! This top is too good looking to sound like this. Help me get this battened down, and I'll give 17 stars
