I currently have a hardtop but have been looking at soft tops when I came across the Bestop Duster/Windjammer/Header set:

I was just wondering if this would be a better (and cheaper) alternative to buying a Mopar softtop.

The only information I have is what Quadratec and Bestop provide and I was hoping i could get some actual advice from someone who has at least one of these pieces.

Does anyone have this 3 piece set?
Does it come down as quick and easy (or quicker) than a soft top?
Is it completely water proof?

 

its not completely waterproof, you will get rain on the floor.


the soft top is definetly quicker to put on and off.

look in my sig, i have pictures in the album marked Bestop.

 

and a side note, I have that set up on a two door, and the windjammer has fabric right where I look back to check my drivers side blindspot, so I have to stick my head out the window, or lean over and peek between the driver and passenger seats... Not completly waterproof, and if you don't have a soft-top, but do have full frame doors, they won't seal, and the deck cover won't seal to the gate. I was quoted 94 for the door seals, each , and 125 for the rear bar and clips to hold the deck cover down... add around 75ish, my guess, for the rear door seals, soft top. correct me if I'm wrong-Captain

 

I have to agree... this is one of the most annoying features... EVER. I love the Duster and the Bikini, but the Windjammer is not designed very well. Additionally, if you're tall, you can't put your seat all the back because it's too tight against the windjammer. :(

 

Ah jeez, hidden costs, blindspots, anarchy! I think I might hold off on this one for a bit.

Thanks for the replies guys!

 

Thats why we are here... but it does keep the girl happy, and you can take off the bikini and fold down the windjammer in about five minutes... They do help keep you mostly dry and I keep the bikini on because I just don't wanna get the dash wet, everything else will dry out.

 

I just moved the lift side top strap to the head restaint, and the left top corner strap around the acutal head rest, so no more blindspot for me...

 

Here are some pics of mine. I do not regret getting it. I would suggest getting the soft top rails for it though. Makes it a more water proof fit. I have been cought in the rain a couple of times and the back only gets a little wet.
