Has anyone heard anything yet regarding bikini tops for the JLU? I was hoping something would be available prior to the summer! I would love to pop off my hard top and not worry about rain.

Curious about this myself. BestTop said mid summer they would have their NX series out. Its going to be a pain in the neck for half the summer checking to make sure its not going to have a slim chance of rain every time the sun is out and i want the top off.

I heard through the grapevine May is the month of unveiling new soft top accessories from the oldest soft top manufacturers :angel:

...sidenote... non mesh tops (denim/vinyl) are usually water resistant, but there is no substitute for a complete soft top when it comes to water proof. The area around the door surrounds and where the roll bars contact the tonneau cover will let some water in during stationary downpours. I strongly recommend a denim/vinyl quick cover for the the Jeep is parked. :like:

I hope it is May. That will make me a very happy person. The last thread I saw from BestTop said mid summer and they have a poll going for what they should make first. So far people love the sun rider for hardtop :facepalm:

It's because so many people buy these with hard tops... I guess it's just the way it is, even if I don't understand why.

I called best top and was told spring of next year lol. I’m wanting a full length safari top, I don’t do mesh as it rains a lot where I’m heading. I plan on removing the hard top and putting the freedom tops back on to keep from burning my noggin until something comes out.

I know it is not the prettiest thing out there but why not just go with the full soft top. Basically it is a bikini top when you take out all the windows.

My soft top is back ordered and I was thinking about trying to find some kind of bikini top as stop gap until the wife saw a picture of the soft top with no windows on it and said, what's the difference between this and what you want to buy? I did not have a great answer... so I sit here waiting for the soft top.

Up here in the northeast you want a hard top. The winters are brutal and having a soft top year round really sucks in the winter.

Well, I live in Alabama and 9 out of 10 people here (my made up statistic) have a hard top on their Jeep. I just don't understand it really. Don't get me wrong, I do understand the benefits to a hard top in the winter.
