I'm thinking about buying one. I like to take off the hard top a lot. Can you still remove the hard top easily. How does the plastic door surrounds attach? Do you have to remove the door surrounds.

thanks

I ordered mine two days ago on Amazon, it arrived today. Can't wait to get home and check it out. I plan on installing it this weekend. I hope it lives up to what I've been hearing on this forum and others. The price is steep, but I think it will be worth it if I use this all of the time. I also think it will look awsome on my white JKU with the white hardtop.

Yes it is. Bestop makes the factory soft tops and is the same material as oem.

My premium top on my 13 did not leak nor does this. Perhaps I'm just lucky beyond just getting the free bestop sunrider

The Jk owners manual says and I quote "Do not run a fabric top through an automatic car wash. Window scratches and wax build up may result." This fabric is super tough but I would heed this warning unless Bestop states different just in case.

Well thats a little tidbit left out of the equation, Lol. I haven't run mine thru a wash but with hard rains I haven't had any leaks at all.
