How did you get them to respond? Will they have a reseller in the U.S.?
I have no response from suntop. However I’m talking with rampage see my other post. They have a similar looking top from what I see from their Jk models. I’m trying to get pictures, release date from what i see the jegs shows them coming soon. The California top which is just a roof top cover no side windows is some where between $70-$90. I’ll keep this page updated as emails come in. If anyone has any questions. Let me know I’ll ask them

I have kids that want to have the "jeep" feel and honestly bestop isn't much cheaper than OEM soft top.
Bestop's Trektop is about half the price of an OEM soft top.

So, unfortunately after about 18 emails back and forth with Rampage about this product I found on Jegs.com. they said that they discontinued this product on 3/1/19.... WTH is wrong with companies. these forums are littered with Jeeples that want a top like this, not a full soft top or a similar one (Best top TrekTop). just a decent affordable cover that they can throw on when the weather gets a little hairy when the tops off! sorry to lead anybody on, I was really hoping this would be the the top that we where all looking for. why can't a company just listen to it's consumers! back to square one. hopefully @suntop comes through. looks like @BestopTeam is to busy chasing the $$$$ to put out a top that all of us really want.

Anyone try and make their own bikini top? If the vendors are not up to the task maybe it’s diy time? Vinyl, grommets and straps?

I'm in the same boat as everyone else here. I want to run topless but would like to have some protection available. Trying to make a workable emergency top is on my list and I have a few yards of waterproof ripstop nylon laying around from other projects that should fit. When I have time and the weather gets more springlike I'm gonna talk to a local sail maker about sewing something up to try out. Worst case is I'm out the $15 for the nylon fabric and whatever it cost me to sew in some webbing, buckles, and magnets.

You don’t seem to understand the market, the money is in providing a product to the greatest number of people possible in as short a time as practical. Bestop has even taken polls here to see what they should work on next, and we got the trektop. It’s really off base to say that the top YOU want is the top ALL of us want. If everyone wanted one, obviously that’s what we would get because that IS how they make money.

Wanted to post this reply that I got today from Suntop after over a month of waiting. Pricing isn’t horrible, their response time is slow at best.

they've been jamming on getting orders produced; I just got a note from them saying that they have my order ready to go, and they will be sending me an invoice tomorrow morning. Hopefully it gets here next week. I'll keep this thread posted on any updates

I am trying to tough it out too. I don't want to spend the money on a full soft top as it will only be used during warm months. However, I want to be able to go completely topless, I have kids that want to have the "jeep" feel and honestly bestop isn't much cheaper than OEM soft top. I searched around yesterday and Suntop supposedly has one out or coming out I'm not sure. With a quick search on there site, of course the only dealer in the states is Extreme Terrain. I don't have a lot of experience with them but from the forums a lot of other members have issue with them saying they have stuff but really don't. E/T shows nothing on there website for Suntop. I sent an email to Suntop requesting more information. Attached are the photos and link to there website. I just want an inexpensive top that able to come off with ease and not having to plan ahead for top or no top days.

higher than I thought or at least a good bit higher than the Jk version is listed for at extreme terrain. Anyone had experience using PayPal in a foreign country?
