Reviews for Bestop 54923-35 Trektop NX Glide Soft Top in Black Diamond for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK 4 Door

Installed it this weekend, took a little over the suggested 4 hours but that was completely by myself, if you had a 2nd person you could get it done in about half the time, and I took my time and followed the paper instructions and the video at the same time. I did have the same issue with the 2nd screw for the strap, but I kept changing the angle of the screw and was able to get them in with no issue. Also, I did not use a power drill for anything as i know i would have stripped or snapped half of those screws. Seem to be having the same issue with the rear window and the tailgate bar, but i am assuming once it stretches out a bit it will fit as designed. Will update after a few months of use.

This top is absolutely beautiful. It's really easy to use and the slide out windows are a great feature. Took about 4 hours to install. I'm so happy with this purchase!

Been using this top for about 4 months now; really no complaints. As with any soft top, the installation can be a bit tricky with the tight new fabric, but since I've installed it, I use the heck out of it and it's held up nicely. Takes about 20 seconds to pop open the top into "sunroof" mode.

This top is a top quality project. The written instructions leave a bit to be desired, but this install video on Bestop website makes it all clear. Took me in total from start to finish about 3 hours to install.....which included the time it took to remove the old factoy Bestop softop (11 years old).

overall I am total satisfied and pleased with everything about this top and the loop. Windows are crystal clear. 2 SMALL issues I would need to note. on each side of Bow #3 you are to use two screws to attach the straps. One of the holes was too small and I snapped the screw off. I was going to drill out the piece that was left....but elected to just file it off smooth and go with the one screw on that side, which should be fine. Second is the back window seemed to be too short in height. I put the lower bar in, and only with great effort and a few tries was I able to get the lower bar to roll into position and be able to get the rear gate shut. However, one call to bestop and they are sending me a new (hopefully slightly bigger) rear window. They were out of stock, but were going to send it no question asked.

So other than two minor issues, a great top. Love the look and everything about it.

Having had the older zipper trektop on my last Jeep it is really nice to have the new Glide features for easy off and on placement of the back and rear window panels. It did take all of 4 hours to get it placed by myself, but once on it has been very easy to remove windows and open up top sunrider feature. The new heavy dark twill material looks great and is almost as sound proof as the hard top.
New England has had way too much rain this spring and I have seen zero leaks from anywhere over last 2 months of use.
Very satisfied with this softtop.

Great product!!! Install was every bit of 4 hours including removing the hard top. I watched the install video while following the paper instructions. Because of a pop up rain shower the windows and top didn't have enough time to loosen up in the sun, so the fit was extremely tight.

LOVE IT! Great top that provides protection from the sun when needed, but easy enough to go fully open. Only wish there was a storage system for the 3 rear panels.

Pretty lengthy task to take on myself, partially from second guessing fitting, placement and backtracking. But, when all was said and done, it was a great fit. I live in the the pacific nw, and right after putting it on, we had a week straight of rain. The puddles that used to show up with my hard top all dried up, and there was no water getting in anywhere. With the weather changing so drastically and so frequently, I’ve been able to swing open the “freedom top” portion and put it back down when it started to rain in seconds.

Three pieces of advice while putting it together. Take your time and read on the front two corners; they have you take out screws and put them back in (frankly, I think this part could have been done at the factory). Secondly, don’t freak out of the two hooks don’t reach your front bar contact points; just open them as wide as possible with the handle folded all the way back and the hook all the way forward. Thirdly, the rear window is a PAIN to get in the first time; roll it and don’t be afraid to use some force. Otherwise, straightforward, and definitely worth the hours of work to get in.

Bought this top about a week ago and was delivered in 48 hours. Quadratec’s app was easy to use to track the package which was very helpful. Installation was about 4 hours, as there was a lot of pre-assemble prior to actually attaching the top. Overall I’m very pleased. I’ve had the top on for about 4 days and no issues. No leaks when it rains and easy to open the sun rider. I would definitely recommend this to a friend

Wasn't to difficult to put on. Just some patience and beer and all will be fine. Fit was good. Good quality product.
