I've had wrinkles in the upper corners of my Bestop soft top since I owned it!

The Safari top from them fits like $hit

The Trek Top I had fell apart after a couple of years.

No more Bestop for me.....

I put the factory original soft top back on, it fits great and is wrinkle free (and it's quiet). Someone said Bestop makes those for Mopar. Can't be the same factory.

Yes, plenty of folks on here really like the Trek Top NX. I want one for the many different ways you can run it, not because I think it will be better or quieter than my factory soft top.

But, from my experience with other tops my factory top is much better. I must have got lucky or something

I'm about done with BestTop too. I ordered a Safari Top for my 2012 JK, the first one arrived without the straps, so I returned it. The second one had all the parts, but when I tried to install it, it didn't fit! First off, the design is horrible, and the straps that secure it to the roll bar didn't fit with the door surrounds. It's going back also. I had a couple BestTop tops for my 04 TJ and they fit great, you'd have a hard time convincing me anyone from BesTop ever actually installed one of their tops on a 2012 JK!

Can any one recommend a better fitting Safari Top for the 2012 two Door JK?

Isn't the spider web shade a mesh top? I'm looking for a solid top, something that will afford some protection should I get caught in an unexpected shower. I like the safari style because it provigeds some protection for the back seat as well.

I just picked up a soft top for my jeep. It fits a 08 and I have a 12 unlimited. It has a small tear where it flips back. It is about one inch long. I was wondering has anyone had a small tear there and did it leak. Also if I change it out I was wondering if anyone has used a quadratop replacement. I like the price. I only need it as a alternative.
