Those are the best
While Bestop does make the OEM tops, the Bestop offerings are not 100% the same as OEM.
If you have a 2 door, the Mopar is the only one that will meet those specs. Best Top makes it, but much more expensive than the fastback version that Best Top makes and doesn't fold all the way down.
That's good to know. What are the differences then?
I donāt have a soft top, but I believe the locking/release mechanisms are different. There are a couple of others as well. Do a quick search on here or Google. I think there are a few YouTube videos detailing the differences. Lastly, Bestop offers different soft top models.
The rear release mechanism is slightly different, and Bestop is branded on the rear of the top. The front latches are also a tad differently styled. Otherwise nothing else noticeable. They both fold back in sun rider mode, and both allow for safari mode.
From my commute todayAll those moments where you couldnāt be bothered to drop the top because it takes 5-10 minutes with a dozen steps to do, with the mytop that doesnāt even matter anymore. I find myself dropping the top at red lights, stop signs or in the middle of traffic, because I need a stress relieving smoke break. Even used it to do a Jeep wave and it blew the other Jeep's mind.
As for quality compared to a hardtop Iād have to say itās much quieter and warmer. When I had a hardtop it felt like I was driving in a hollow shell, noise and rattles everywhere, but with the mytop, everything just feels so much quieter. The top is triple layered so itās even warmer in the cold. Reminds me of my Mustang convertible top but thicker. Apparently they use the same top manufacturer as Mercedes and other euro luxury convertible brands.
Reliability wise itās been working flawlessly. I got it installed last summer and Iāve definitely used it more times than there have been days. I mean you really do use it as much as you open and close your door, because the second you park somewhere the top closes in seconds instead of minutes and when you get back to your vehicle, itās just like rolling your windows open, only takes seconds. My uses are over the past couple months is probably close to a thousand now. Iām still using it in the winter on those random warm days. Other Jeepās look at me like Iām crazy like who goes through all that hassle in the freezing cold to drop their top but little do they know
The price isn't bad at all, because almost everyone forgets that you can sell your factory top for $1,500-$2,000 so you can use that to offset the cost of the top. A small price to pay for so many smiles per gallon this will bring into your life. The install cost is like any other mod, so I donāt even worry about that. People have paid more in labor for leather seats and mytop has a nation wide list of installers. Took my local mytop shop a couple hours to install and they did a great job.
As someone who comes from true powered convertibles, I knew the ability to go topless at a moment's notice completely changes your ownership experience. I get to use so much more of my Jeep every single day while everyone else has to contemplate if itās even worth going through the trouble to be topless.
Wranglers are all about smiles per gallon and this mytop definitely does that.
I love them because they made my dream come true. Iām a die hard convertible lover and my dream car has always been a convertible 4 door suv with AWD/4WD and lots of ground clearance, but I do hate the sport bar and door window frames since it takes away from some of my freedom which is why Iām excited for the Bronco.
