I just watched an install video, looks like it's pretty good. Qudratec has them for $808 unitl 9/30.
I am looking for feedback on how it holds up flapping/leaks-wise.
If it doesn't leak, it looks like a good alternative to the BestTop one that is similar.
EDIT- also for $785 on eBay Top on eBay

Quadratec must be fire sailing them then because I just bought one from them last night for $686. I chose this over the Besttop because of the integrated window storage.

^^^^ me too, I had it on my wishlist, but when I looked yesterday the price drop made me buy it! I hope I am not disappointed.

I will post up when I get it put on, and this is the start of soft-top weather for me, so I'll be able to see how it performs right away!

I installed my Rampage Trailview Fastback Top over the weekend and I thought I would share a few thoughts that might prove helpful to others.
  • Double check the labeling of the parts. My front door surround brackets and the middle door surround brackets were mislabeled and it took me several hours to get this correct. The front door surround brackets are the shorter ones; all the remaining brackets are the same size.
  • The front latches are right and left specific, even though this isn't stated in the instructions. The latches themselves should vertically line up with the latch mechanism of the top.
  • Other than the above, installation is very straightforward.

The kit is well engineered. The side and rear fastback windows install and remove easily. As a bonus, a storage bag for these is included.

I have some questions/issues I ran into installed yesterday:

1) is the plastic “hook” on the front supposed to go into the windshield channel?

2) should I have removed/cut the tail gate liner where the window bar bracts are mounted? It doesn’t seem to sit/seat very well and it seems like this may be the cause.
In addition, the rear window plastic clips seem excessively hard to get in place and I wonder if this is the cause.

3) related to question 1 - anytime I get up over 65 mph it gets LOOOOOOUD! It seems like the wind is getting in through a small gap at the front, which I think would be fixed if the plastic “hook” was in the windshield channel.

Other than these issues I’ve been really enjoying it, but the wind speed / sound issue could be a deal breaker if I can’t solve it - I live in the country and spend a fair bit of time on highways.

I am having the same issues. The windshield just doesn’t seal and it is really loud. The door surrounds also don’t seal very well but I guess I could live with that. Did you get the plastic hook to go into the window channel?
