I will be calling probably tomorrow. I installed my trektop last night and it came with the extra piece that is supposed to fix the tailgate gap. Problem is that extra piece doesn't stay in place and continues to fall off. Is there an actual fix in the works? Like a re-designed tailgate bar?
Did he give you his email to use? Mind sharing so i can do the same?
He did not. Just said to email customer service which is [email protected]
My understanding is it was a small sample size affected by this issue and if you cal them with the serial # off the window it can be determined if it's one of the affected ones. Must have been an issue in the manufacturing process for a day or something? Not sure...Mine doesn't flap at all.
So this past weekend, I put on my trektop on my jeep. It took me approximately 4 hours for the installation and have to say that I really like the way it looks. I let it sit out in the Sun for two days between 80 - 85 degree weather to allow the twill/material to stretch and set on the Jeep. The third day, I drove it up 70 mph with no flapping at all. I was very surprised that I couldn't tell the wind noise difference between the hard top and the trektop.... It was actually quiet.
The following day I drove it to work, which is approximately 35 miles away from my house and mainly open highway with no issues at all. Later on that evening on my way home........ It all started " the flapping of death" from the rear window at 65 mph. I slowed down then it stopped, but then the "flapping" again started at 65 mph. As soon as I got home everything seemed to be intact together. The following the day it did the same thing.
I have to say it's very disappointing especially for the amount of money that we all paid. I'll be calling bestop customer service to report this issue
I'm running the Mopar 2" inch lift kit/fox shocks and the goodyear wrangler MT/R kevlar radial tires (35x12.5). In my opinion, it still has a smooth ride on the highway and it does great with the level 1 - 3 off road trails.
