Slanted soft top

[frankmorris]

Hi folks - This may be easily available information, but I don’t know what terms to search for. I saw a soft top of a JL the other day that had a slanted back side, and was wondering if that was after market or factory? If after market, where would I get it? Thanks

It was a JK.

That's called a "fastback" top.

Hey Frank @frankmorris

I've queued the video up to the point in it that precisely meets your interest:



One of my personal favorite aspects of this top, is that like Bestop's soon to be released Sunrider top (a half soft top that replaces the hard top Freedom Panels) opening and closing the top is done from within the interior of the rig.

This is perfect - thanks everyone. Looks like I need to go ahead and order the factory soft top as well now as the bestop one isn’t available yet for the new JLs.

It's supposed be to be available by the end of this year or very early next year.

Agreed Izzy. Here's Cassie from Bestop's own words on the matter:

Nice thanks! Do folks think this product will be as good as the factory soft top? Wondering if I should cancel my order for the dual soft top

Just personal preference. I ran my 4 door JK with this product and preferred it over the factory soft top. My favorite configuration was the side and back windows removed and stored in the trunk. This allowed just the bikini to be left and I prefer that look to the JL factory soft top look with the top extension coming all the way the tailgate. Just me, but it just looks weird with the extension. I ordered hard top only...knowing Bestop will come out the Trextop before summer.

Also, I really loved the ability to flip the drivers portion of the top back at a stop light. Can't do that on the factory with all the accordion folding required.

Either way you can't go wrong but the quality is the same between both products.

Thanks! That's good to hear. Need to make a decision soon then. Does the Bestop bag come with storage bags for the windows, etc. or are they not really needed?
