I purchased my top through Quadratec. When I decided I could not live with the seam leaking that bad I contacted Besttop. They first said to contact Quadratec but minutes later said hold on we will handle this. It took a month to get although the tops were in the process of being revised. I cannot not say nothing bad about Besttops customer service, they have been great. Now I hope the new top will live up to what I think it should.

Guys with the new top. Do not get frustrated with the rear window. I did and it sucks. What you have to do is start both zippers. Zip down 6" or so then slide your hands inside and slide it into the tops channel. After a couple beers one night camping I was ready to burn the entire freaking Jeep to the ground being so frustrated trying to get the F'n back window in.

I agree with HRT, best top has great customer service.

Anyone know if the ones at Quadratec are the "new design"? They show that they're discounted at $571 plus shipping.

I just emailed both Quadratec and Bestop, but I guess I'm impatient.

I just want a summer top and I'll put my hard top back on in November, so I just want one that doesn't leak. Whether it holds in heat or sags under the weight of snow doesn't matter to me.

Even if the design is greatly improved over the last major POS, I would not order another Bestop product just on their horrendous lack of customer service and form letter emails. Took mine back to OK4WD for store credit....

It should be the newest. That is about the time when I was told a couple weeks. They were testing the new design around the end of May. I think you will be happy you waited it out for the new design.

I highly doubt it, not yet. But I am just speculating on that. Everyone on here with the new design is just now getting them. A company having them stocked up already would surprise me.

I just received my shipment direct from Bestop. I talked to Quadratec and they received new ones on the 21st of this month so there stock should be the new
design. Mine was on back order from Quadratec so I now they were out of stock prior to the 21st.

I received the new Trektop and did the install last night. The install went well about 40 minutes. A couple of issues wtih the install. Bestop does not provide enough washers as you need two for each of the bolts that attach the door surrounds to the stock roll bar. Another words the hole in the bar is to large in diameter so the nut side needs a washer as well in order to tighten it. No big deal as I have plenty of washers.
Bestop needs to do a better job reviewing their instructions. Step 7 tells you to intall the rear window and start the zippers.
Step 9 tells you to remove the rear window from the box, lay it flat to install the tail gate retainer. Little hard to do since you already installed the window in step 7. Once again no big deal as you can install it after the window is installed. I will send Bestop an email about these minor issues.

Test drive. The top fits very tight, no flapping at all . No idea on water leaks yet although it looks like they have tried to address this issue.
My only problem is the wind noise coming from the driver and passenger side header area. The header seems to be sealed ok ie no gap. It could be coming from the area where the front doors seal at the top corner.
I would appreciate any help from those who have installed this top and have reduced if not eliminated this noise.

Wish it wasn't so expensive. Looks great though!
