Sailcloth (Black Diamond) Trektop Installed

[TJEli]

These are available in limited supply right now. I waited for the black diamond because I hope to match it with some black diamond soft doors when they are available. The fabric is nice. Its the same as what a premium soft top use to be. I'm not crazy with the Bestop logos all over it. Install went fine but it takes a long time to put everything together. I will post back with a noise report after I have some miles on it.

Looks great. It was taking so long a few months ago, I cancelled my order.

Got tube doors in the mean time.

Do you have a small open space between weather-strip and the tailgate?

Is there somewhat of an easy way to remove the top off the jeep and go completely topless?

Yes. Only with the rear window connected though. It is a very tight fit. I am going to call Bestop tomorrow.

Not really but it only covers the passenger seat when it is full opened.

Bestop is aware of the issue and they will overnight you a tailgate seal kit for no charge to take care of the issue.

Hey Eli - So does this top open all the way like the MOPAR soft tops do or is it just for the front seats like you show?

Also - how is the wind / road noise?

It only opens as shown and the rear windows come out in about 10 seconds. There is no ugly framing in the back when the windows are removed. You run it as a Bikini or with the sunrider open. I am extremely impressed with the wind and road noise so far. It is barely louder than my hardtop and it does not flap at all.

Looks great, makes me wish I hadn't spend the extra money on the premium version
Is the inside still black, or is it white like the JK tops?

Random question but these pics wouldn't have been taken at Galvanik's RV sales in Cadillac would they?

No

No Sir. We are in the U.P. of Michigan.

The inside of the top is grey. You can see it one of my pics.

I called on Monday about the rear seal. I had it in my hand on Tuesday. Nice seal, fits perfect and completely fills the gap.
