Reviews for Bestop 56853-35 Trektop NX Soft Top in Black Diamond for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK 4-Door

The best top went on perfectly I'm happy with the performance of it with one exception there is no access to anything in the back if it's taller than the gate unless you unzip it and roll it up my only complaint everything else is great

Features

Seems to fit, good reviews and good price

Just installed it the other day. Instructions aren’t great but it all ended up fine. Top looks great. Real easy to use sunrider. No leaks yet. Definetly a 2.5+ hour job. I recommend this 100% if you’re handy enough for the installation.

I recomend very good

More flappy in the wind than the one I had for my '09 Jeep. This one leaks at the windshield and I will be calling Bestop to fix that. Good thing is, they will make it right.

The reasons I wouldn't give this top 5 starts are: first; when the sunrider is open the back portion of the top doesn't stay tucked under on the highway. So it flaps. I'm afraid it's going to rip. Second, I called before I ordered it to make sure it was completely removable. The directions have you crimp the springs in the back corners making it very difficult to remove all the way. the only reason I wanted a soft top was to be able to fold it all the way back. Otherwise the top fits great when it's on and the fabric is well made.

Install: Easy. I let the fabric sit in the 80 degree sun for a couple hrs. Took me about 3.5 hrs of work time. The first time getting the zippers to catch is very hard. I found using a step ladder to get better leverage helped a lot. The first time closing the sunrider was also difficult. Since then the fabric has relaxed and is much easier to get everything buttoned up.

The Good: This top is great for opening and closing the sunrider whenever you feel like it (takes less than 10 seconds) from the front seat. Removing and reinstalling the back windows is an easy one person job and takes 3-5 minutes for each process. Obviously road noise is noticeably louder but not too loud to hear the radio or have a conversation.

The Bad: I bought this top during the Bestop spring rebate program and never received my rebate, emailed Bestop and got the runaround. The "glide" feature comes loose at the top of the side windows when you tighten the side/back window zipper. There is a gap at the end of the rain gutter - during most rain storms and car washes everything is fine but during a strong downpour it will leak bad. (see pictures)

I will definitely be looking to upgrade to something better.

Read the reviews so I bought the top finally had time to get help to pull the hardtop off and put the new top on , as I am going through I realize I am missing a large amount of parts . Come to find out I got sent a top that had been previously returned . Very angry as this top is expensive and they didn't send a new top. I call quadratec and anytime in the past customer service has been great now a new top won't ship until 4 days from now and I have to undo all the work I did pull everything off and call to get help to put the hardtop back on. To say I am angry and disappointed is an understatement , paid price for new top instead got used top that still doesn't work, this will probably be the last time I order parts from quadratec
