I have a 2 door, my trektop has not had any problems. I love the look and pretty much fold the sunrider back daily. I also love the safari top because it gives my dog a little shade (it gets pretty warm in Phoenix and the sun in brutal).

Just put a trektop nx diamond on my JL 2 door. It was a tedious job, seems like the one I put on my JK when they came out for that was easier. For the choices available...I'm happy with it over spending a grand more on the Mopar top. I like the sewn in pockets over the front seats! I like how it looks and I hope to enjoy many summer days with it all opened up, so much better than my hard top in that way! After some miles and rain I'll report back.

I just put my top on my 2 door last Saturday. Haven’t had the opportunity to drive it around yet with my work schedule. But it has been raining since I put the top on and no leaks so I appreciate that. Looks awesome as well. Can’t wait for this weekend.

E-mailed them about the tailgate bar 2 days ago, no response. Guess I'll call their number tomorrow. Today I could smell exhaust really strong in the Jeep upon acceleration. I guess it was coming through the opening between the tailgate bar and tailgate. Not sure. Never smelled it before.

So far it's like they fix one issue and cause another. Eventually they'll get this worked out. I'm certain they will.

I've been on the fence on ordering but will wait now so I know whatever source I order from will have all the fixes in the place.

No issues here, and I have been driving a lot. Will post a pic in a bit, at airport and airport WiFi is slow.

Give us a call, as the automated email states they really slammed with emails. But if you call with the ticket number they can find your emails and get you fixed up :)

Any update on if this fixed your problems?
The new roof skin and rear window with the velcro did seem to stop a lot of the flapping. But, it puts more tension on the tailgate bar so you'll need the updated part so it'll seal off against the tailgate again.

I’m happy to report I have had none of the problems so far others have had. No flapping. No immense tension at the back where I couldn’t get the back corners unhooked. Completely water proof. Only problem is the rubber strip keeps coming off the tailgate bar but goes right back on so no biggie so far. Hopefully my luck continues.

@BestopTeam I’m about to order one of these from Northridge4x4, and was curious if the current stock will immediately need the replacement parts, or if the recent stock sent out already has the fixes (tailgate bar & add’l top velcro, etc.).

I can't say, not all the tops are having the issues. Either way, we stand behind our products and if you have an issue we wil get it fixed for you!

I put mine on my 2 door and drove last weekend on the highway with the sun rider up and down and no flapping and the tailgate bar was fine as well. I guess I got lucky. Also quite water proof since it’s rained a ridiculous amount here since I put it on.
