Default Bestop Trail Cover with Premium Soft Top

Is anyone using the Bestop Trail cover on a 4 door with the premium soft top? I bough this cover off Craigslist in hopes of using it when my doors are off at night, but it seems not to fit when I have my premium top folded back in the rear. Am I doing something wrong??

Thanks guys!

I don't have a 4 door or the premium top but I do have a bestop trail cover for my 2 door and it fits with the regular soft top folded down, its tight but it works.

I used this set up on one of my previous jeeps and it will not cover completely. Will keep most of the water out, it will build up in the folds of the top. I used it a lot, never bothered me.

sent from my work leash

Same here. I fold the top down as neat as I can and stretch the cover as far as possible and tighten the straps. It leaves a couple small openings at the rear corners but other than a little puddling it's no big deal.

Also, I have a Tuffy security deck so my folded top probably sits a little higher.

Same issue with my 2015 JKU. Soft top down, doors off, the Besttop won't properly fit and the roof will catch water during a rain storm.

Left it sun for a few hours but still won't clear the folded soft top.

Does anybody make a dust cover that will fit if you have 50" light bar mounted?
