I believe I'm one of the first to have one. Very well made and easy to install. I have the tweed which is like the 14 on up premium tops.

At least for the summer I will have to see how it works out. I believe I am one of the first to try one. I can instructions are excellent and install easy around an hour by myself. I just put it on Friday so have not been in many weather extremes yet😄. It is oem quality twill and like the premium oem top slightly louder than the hard top.

Looks good! Price is a bit steep, but might need to consider. Keep us updated on how it works out. I love the concept, I am just curious about how well it keeps out the elements. Had a best-top on an old jeep and it was awesome, so my guess is there won't be issues. .

That is a really cool idea and all but i could save a $100-200 more and get a full soft top. I guess you retain most of the security of a hard top in the rear though. It would be hard to justify getting one of these over a full soft top in my opinion.

What is the difference in wind noise?
Is it annoying at highway speeds when folded back?
How big of an effort would it be if you wanted to take the whole top off?

It will be about 15 minutes at most to remove it. It is very convenient to flip it back while in the driver's seat. I have been up to 70mph with the top closed and sounds about the same as my 13 did with its premium top. I have only been up to 55mph with it flipped back and it is quieter than it is with the freedom tops off. I agree some will feel a full soft top will be ideal for them. I sold my premium soft top as I did not like the lack of security when traveling. I think this is better simply because most people will not even recognize you have a soft top up front.
