Default Bestop Convertible Top for Hardtop

Has anyone used the convertible top for the hardtop that takes the place of the Freedom Tops ? would like to hear feed back, looks like an interesting accessory.

At least one person has it. I really liked the idea until I saw the price.

Yes it has been awesome. I have had it on for a week and a half and so far so good. I have found no negatives and can say I have flipped it back more in a week and a half than I have removed the freedom panels in 2 years. It is well made (exactly like the OEM premium top) and well thought out and easy to install.

I'm about to try this option. I have won this top in the Friday night drawing at Easter jeep. I'll pick it up soon from Bestop

I've had it for a while and love it. Been in rain a lot no leaks at all. Easy to use and not a single negative yet.

How easy will it clean when its all dusty from off-roading and you close it up?

it is the same fabric as the factory premium top so will clean up the same. I had the dual top package on my last jeep and it cleaned up fine. I would just hit it with the hose when I was washing my rig. I have not had this in dusty conditions yet but material is the same so should not be a problem. I have hit it with the power wash tho to see if it would leak and it did not.

As @jadmt mentioned we use ours all the time.
Simple install and we now pop it back more than ever taking off the freedom panels.
This was yesterday in TN on the Jeep Jamboree event that is going on this weekend on our JK-8.
