Bestop Supertop A Good Buy |
| Date: Sep 29, 2009 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Chicago, IL) | |
| Living in Chicago and its seasons (winter and construction), and preferring to run with a soft top year-round (the look, feel,and even smell...) the Bestop Supertop fit the bill. If I didn't have to replace my tired and worn OEM hardware, I would have gone with the Sailcloth top. I find that I like the hardware for the Supertop better...save the connection to the headliner at the top of the windshield. The OEM headliner uses the clamp while the Supertop has to be slid into a slotted header that you need to clamp on to your windshield. One benefit of this clamp-on headliner, is that it also works for my mesh bikini top for hot summer days. The Supertop hardware folds down flat against the tub of the Jeep...much flatter than the OEM hardware/bows. If you're a Jeeper and know your way around a soft top, it will only take you just over an hour to get the hardware attached and the top on. Right out of the box, it will be difficult to get the headliner attached to the windshield slot as it is creased and folded when shipped...I recommend either taking the time to flatten out the crease or have another person there to help you attach it. I did it on my own...but it took some doing and actually attaching the rear of the top FIRST, then sliding it into the headliner. I purchased my Supertop with the upper doors since my Jeep has the metal half doors. The upper doors are of the variety of the large zip-open plastic windows. I use these as my "summer doors" (construction season?) as they are easy to pop off and lay flat in the back of my Jeep under the dog bed (took out the rear seat and replaced it with a large bedbed for my pups). For my "winter doors," I use the Bestop upper doors with glass sliders, as they can be scraped of ice/snow, less road noise, and unlike a plastic zip-open window, won't crack on the coldest of days when opened. I've only had the top for a short time...but it looks and fits great! Love it so far! Long story short: If your OEM hardware is in good shape, go with the Bestop Sailcloth replacement top. If you need to replace your hardware/bows or don't have any hardware due to running with only a hard top....the Bestop Supertop is for you. |

So-so top for the price |
| Date: Aug 04, 2009 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Joliet, IL.) | |
| Got a 94 yj and bought this top through jcwhitney. Got a black top with tinted windows. It seemed really nice for about the first month that it was on but now there are seems ripping and the rear support bow is starting to bend a little. I have to keep it on the tightest setting otherwise the top is way to loose. Its still pretty loose as it is. For 800 bucks I think it wasnt worth it. | |

Supertop for a 08 JK |
| Date: Mar 10, 2009 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Alexandria, LA) | |
| I installed the top in about 4 hours. The directions were not very clear. Missing a spring for a latch which factory sent and one header was damaged during shipping. Since my jeep is 4door I like to have 2 ppl. when puting the top down. Other than that the quaility of parts and top look durable and great. | |

Great for any weather |
| Date: Nov 09, 2008 | |

| I live in central Montana and replaced the factory hardtop on my CJ5 with a Bestop Supertop, the highest quality soft top available. It works in all of Montana's grueling weather, whether it's a hundred degrees in August or forty degrees below zero in January, this top takes it all providing you have a good heater that is. It takes harsh conditions well too. I work in Yellowstone National Park in the summer and have to commute back and forth in the Jeep. One time I got caught in a powerful thunderstorm that produced marble sized hail going at highway speeds and didn't even damage the top! I go hunting in the fall and when you get in the thick timber and the branches are snagging and scratching at the top, it dosen't rip. The only reason I give 8 stars it that the windows when they get scratched they get harder and harder to see out of, therefore I'll probably replace the windows with new ones soon. They've held up well for five years now, but are getting really hard to see out of. Other than that I highly recommend this top to any Jeep owner. | |

Tough as nails. (TJ w/ Soft Uppers) |
| Date: Oct 06, 2008 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Ohio) | |
| The trees I have rubbed against, you have no idea. I have bent the hardware back into place plenty and the thing still works. No flapping in the wind as long as you turn the vent on low. Great Zippers (YKK). The only reason it gets a 7: the plastic in the hardware WILL break. | |

Tops in Tops |
| Date: Jun 02, 2008 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Lost Angeles) | |
| Bestop has been making tops for Jeeps for years. I have a newer style on my CJ7 and I have to say, HUGE improvement over the OEM version. Gone are the lame snaps and removable 4-piece bow system. Today's Bestops incorporate the rail system and bows that stay attached to the Jeep. You will have to drill a few holes around the rim of your tub, but it's simple and you'll never see the holes. All three windows zip out so the top becomes (in essence) a long "bikini top" that cover front and rear seating areas. Another nice touch it that when the top is down, they incorporate elastic keepers to keep the rails fastened to the tub so they won't flop around. Once you get the hnag of putting the top down and putting it back up, it's a failry easy one-person job - but two people would make it really fast. I would suggest buying the window storage envelopes that Bestop makes. Keep those plastic windows safe when you remove them. Bestop makes great padded hard door keepers as well. Note: I bought the "Black Denim" color thinking it would be textured black. It's actually a dark gray - ugh! |

Good and bad |
| Date: May 29, 2008 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (King of Prussia, PA) | |
| I just replaced a factory top with this top (and the canvas doors as well). Living in the Northeast, I put the top up and down quite often. The Bestop fabric seems to be high quality. The windows go in and out easily. The fit is only so-so. The biggest draw back for me is putting the top back up. The fabric is not attached to the hardware, so you must first re-engage the hardware, which can be frustrating unless you have two people. The bars fit into a slot, and you must get each side in together. You get into a game of one side in, then the other side pops out. Next, you need to stretch the loose fabric up and over - also cumbersome when compared to the factory top. Then you feed the front edge into a narrow channel along the windsheild. The trick here is to start at the center and work towards one side, then go around and do the other side. Again, a game of one side popping out occurs unless you have 2 pp. The end result is you find yourself leaving the top up on iffy days. The doors are great so far, although they flap alot on highway. No complaints. |
