Sunrider Top is EVERYTHING
August 10, 2020
I have a 2 door Wrangler with hardtop. I always thought about getting the soft top for the warmer months, but was nervous about damaging the hardtop during removal. Plus, I don’t have a good spot to store it. Sunrider is a perfect alternative. You don’t get the full soft top experience, but you don’t have to deal with removing the 2 clunky front panels of the hardtop.i paid extra to have it professionally installed, so I can’t comment on that process.

Best Purchase Yet
August 14, 2019
Love, Love, Love it!!! We rarely took the freedom panels off due to the amount of time it took. Now we have the sunrider top open every chance we get! My husband installed it by himself & did have the same complaint with the screws. We also have had some issue with water running inwhen opening the doors after it rains, however it's not a big deal. We have had no issues with leaks while driving thru heavy rain or even the car wash. Our Jeep is my every day vehicle, so I considerthe sunrider top to be our best Jeep accessory purchase yet!.
ProsEase of opening & closing
ConsShort installation screws

Excellent Product and Outstanding Service!

The Bestop Sunrider is a true OEM quality product. Installation is very reasonable if you follow the directions. It is all about alignment ... just don't try to force it together. Down force is required when attaching the side rails. That means it is a two person job. JustForJeeps exceeded my expectations. Follow up was clear and concise. Shipping was unbelievably fast, with the product very well packaged. As a former executive for ASC Inc ( OEM Convertible Supplier) I had high expectations. ... and they all were met. Thanks for an exceptional experience.
ProsOEM engineering and quality.
Exceptional fit and finish.
Factory reliability and durability.
Premium customer service.
ConsThe only con is that this wasn't offered as a factory option.

Great buy! So much easier than the freedom panels. I've had my share of taking the freedom panels off and dreading it every time and now I can't believe how much I have the sunrider open. Took a little less than 2 hrs 2 install as it was just me doing it. Watch a few of the install videos on you tube and that helped. Have to admit that the bolts could be a little longer and the cut in the bottom of the pad has to be a little bigger but no big deal.
ProsFreedom! Easy to open and close. Fits great. Dont have to dread the freedom panels. Youll have it open all the time.
ConsBolts could be about a 1/4" longer for the rail install and the cut in the bottom of the roll pad will be a little bigger. Will understand this when you get ready to mount the door rails.

Perfect for use

Love the top, only issue is the leaking. I had read about it from other purchasers, i found a way to stop it from pouring out when i open the door, however it just pooled into the inside padding instead. It has only rained once since i purchased this and that's when i noticed it. We will see if it was just a one time occurrence after this weeks rain comes.
ProsEasy to use, install was quick and easy
Conswater issue when it rains

Great cover.

As. Entwined by all previous reviews, aligning several of the attachment bolts was difficult, had to buy longer bolts to tighten and align bolt holes.Once aligned I was able to install original shorter bolts.
ProsGreat cover, love running with top down
ConsAfter installation, no issues.
