BestTop Safari non mesh.
Like everyone else the top will flap against the sound bar. I store a folded and rolled flannel sheet up there to stop it and for the kids if the temp drops to lowfor them. I have been doing this for 4yrs now. No problem with stretching even in 100+ degress.

get the top prop from skid row offroad and there will be no more flapping. takes about 45 mins to install and is well worth the 40 bucks.

I looked at those, but I would still carry the flannel sheet for the kids. So all works out.

thanks!!
I own the Bestop Mesh. It works great, still have air flow, very little slapping, perfect to keep the direct sun from beating on the kids. Highly recommend. You can get a Bestop right now with a free quick mounting bracket.

I have the bestop bikini top and i bought some door surrounds for my JKU and i was wondering what the spring hinge thing on the rear surrounds is for? How does that work with the bikini? I dont own a soft top.

That spring loaded latch is for the soft top only. If you don't plan ob getting a soft top you can remove them. They won't hurt anything if you leave them.
