Reviews for Bestop 54923-35 Trektop NX Glide Soft Top in Black Diamond for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK 4 Door
Not an easy installation, but nice top
Overall, very easy to put up and down when going to have a sunny day or if rain is about to start. Easy to take off and re-install if wanting to go full topless. Did have a lot of issues with the screws not threading correctly into some of the holes and the instructions were a little confusing, but overall, a simple install for one person. Would highly recommend buying your own screws to use for some of the pieces of this, plus using a power drill.
Installed in about 80 deg. installation went smooth. My wife and I worked together in putting it on. We did find one bracket to be bent. I thought the top would fit better, but I think a couple day out of the box should help with that. The stitching tension was loose, so, many of the stitches had loops and didn't lay flat. While writing this I called Quadratec service and a new bracket and foam pads are being sent. I did not expect that! 3 for product. 5 for service!!!✌
Great top and relatively straight forward for an amateur to install. Would be five stars but the holes in the bow sections were drilled to small for the screws. Stripped a handful of screws before I decided I needed to widen the wholes with a drill so screws wouldn’t strip.
I contacted Bestop to order replacement screws and including shipping it’s going to cost me $25. I told them about the issue with the pre-drilled holes and they said they were aware of that issue. If so, I’d recommend sending a free replacement bag of screws instead of charging the customer for a quality issue on their end.
Other than that experience this would be a five star review.
The screws that screw into the fabric could be better the whole thing could of took 2hrs with help but the screws make it difficult because some won’t go in the hole properly
I absolutely love the top it's everything that I wanted and expected it to be the only reason I did not give it a 5 star rating is because I was offered a $100 gift card at the same time for purchase and I have not yet received it otherwise I would have given it 5 stars
No zippers
Just installed new soft top on my 2015jeep rubicon took me and son-in -law 3 hours ,instructions were very hard to read.watched video on how to install that helped a lot.other reviews were correct.looks good, a little bit tight hope it will loosen up over time no wind noise
over all a very good top, instructions needs to be better and screws needs to be a better quality aswell, a few where broken during install. it was extremely tight in the beginning but loosed up over time. When I convert back to my hardtop for the winter i will give a updated review.
Installation instructions are absolutely terrible which leads to a much longer install time. And the fold fits on the back are so tight that it is extremely difficult to put on and take off. I assume this will get better over time and with some wear. Aside from that, it functions well and looks nice. I think they could improve on the instructions and making it easier to put on the windows on the side and back.
