Bestop Black Twill Trektop for a 4-Door Jeep Wrangler JL, Model Years 2018 to Current, (56863-17)

Takes a few hours to install but mostly time consuming, nothing difficult. A second person is helpful at times, but not required (I'm also 6'2 tho...). I'm impressed with the material quality, even though I bought the standard model and not the more expensive twill model. Its a snug fit when you first install it, and smells of "manufacturing", so it was a great idea to let it sit in the sun with the windows down after install, so it can stretch and air out, before going for a drive. Folding the top back is very easy. Removing back and side windows takes a few minutes but its easy once you do it a couple times. Worst part is where/how to store the windows when you zip them out, so they dont blow around or get scratched up. Havent solved that yet. To access the back, open the swing gate and unzip rear window MOST of the way up. Then roll it up (roll to the inside, away from you, rather than toward you) and it will rest on the sport (roll) bar and actually stay put while you mess with cargo. Make sure your sport bars are clean or any grit can scuff the rear window where it rests (when rolled up). This is just for cargo access, I dont think it would stay here while driving; better removing it then. Nice open air feeling with everything open. Nice snug fit, but not too snug so its easy to work with. Impressively quiet when its up. No leaks. Great top! Standard open means front seats are totally uncovered, and rear seats are fully covered tho (the fold happens directly over the thick middle overhead speaker cross bar). Tip if you want more opening, over the back seats - keep a tool in the vehicle to remove the 3mm allens (2 each side) that hold the first cross bar, over the drivers head. With this bar freed (you're just letting it move, not actually removing it), you can put the top back another section, putting open sky over heads of rear seat passengers as well. It wont go ALL the way back, but gives them some sky overhead, maybe halfway across back seats. Yes it stays this way and you can drive with it; I've tested up to 50mph it doesnt move. To do this, you'll need to NOT attach the velcro to the cross bar that goes across the speaker bar (its a real pain to get to anyway, so skip it and leave detached here if you think you'll want to try the "full open" mod). My pictures show the "standard" opening.

I like the top for what it is. But somehow I missed that it's not a full convertible top. Maybe a clearer description telling that this is a front seat flip back only. Overall though it does the job. It makes a nice "safari style" top. Installation is not bad. The rear snaps are the hardest part of the install to get snapped for me.

First off understand that this is not a full retractably top. The sunrider very easily opens up above the front row. The 3 windows come off fairly easily but the second row stays covered in any scenario. Ultimately it looks great and fits tight.. Installation does seem very intimidating and I wonder why Bestop doesn't preassemble the pieces that can be although most products are like that. HIGHLY recommend: #1 following the 23 minute video made by Bestop and use the manual as reference. #2 be sure to have the tools they recommend. The parts do NOT come with any tools and if you have the exact ones they use it will go much easier. #3 do the preassembly work inside on a table #4 keep all the bolts, washers etc organized into a bowl or otherwise something to keep them organized. Most of them are VERY small can easily disappear. #5 figure out in advance what bolts are what by #, you'll see what i mean I believe if you are super organized and have a second person doing the opposite side of all steps you could do it in 2 hours, else yes its a slightly challenging 4 hour process. UPDATE: I’ve had the top a couple of months now and I have upgraded the assessment to 5 stars. Always thought it was more than 4 but now after months of usage I have no complaints. Very easy to work with and doesn’t leak that I’m aware of. I am not sure it’s a manufacturer suggested option but I can now fully ‘retract’ it but undoing the Velcro and snaps in the back and tucking the back part under the sunrider. Basically it’s a hack. Even at high speeds nothing moves. So now I have a fully uncovered soft top for less than $1k

If I had to say I had a complaint it would be that the instructions are not very well written. After thinking about it for a while it kind of comes together. It took about 2 hours to install. So far perfect fit and no wind noise. Love it!

Love the product. Instructions were not easy to follow. Had some missing hardware needed to make a trip to the store.

I really love both the look and the functionality of the top. I have seen other reviews complaining of spacing on the back tailgate but mine fits perfectly. Although I wish it came with a full convertible option, the Bikini top is still great. During the installation I found that some of the included bolts were cheap and a couple stripped quite easily. For some bolts I just reused the factory Hard Top bolts which worked out nicely. I also found the included velcro to honestly suck. I wish they would have just installed the strips onto the metal bracket prior to shipping. I found with the tension on the roof they began to lift from the metal. I would recommend installing them first so they have time to adhere.

Instructions weren’t the best as far as visual and written instructions but was able to figure it out. Once I got it on it’s a tight fit and looks wicked .

Very easy to install took 2 hours very good product fit like a glove on my jeep wrangler sahara unlimited 2020
