I put the best top NX on my JKUR about a month ago. I love it. Only issue I have noticed so far, and I will check it out when I get home, is when we had some high winds if was lifting the top just above the doors and I could see light. May need to tighten cables to next hole in bracket from original installation. Other than that I like it better than factory.

Love my NX as well, third summer with it on. Native-just change the setting of the cables by ur back windows to stop the flapping. Also make sure u have it on evenly.

Love my trektop NX. I think quadratec has it for 4 doors for 595 and free shipping. That has to be the best value mod out there. Great looks and great function for a great price.

Thanks Jersey, it is even and a lot less wind noise than factory. I recon it just stretched and settled, minor adjustments in order.

Yeah, every season I need to tweek something I do while installing, but it's all just minor adjustments. This year my rear aluminum bar wants to make noise. My 50" light effects the way wind goes over it too and makes it a lil more noisy but again slight adjustments and it's just fine. I also run a spider web shade and can't clip the two center straps to the sound bar and it's still just fine.

I have the original, not the NX. Have used it for a few winters/summers now and the hard top sits in the basement year round. Love it, takes up a lot less space then the TJ's framed soft top I had, its just one rolled up sausage.

The one thing to watch out for depending where you live/visit/drive, is that since its frameless, it essentially stretches a bit to fit nice and snug on your frame. This means when its gets closer to 0, or the cold winds blow, snow, etc.. and you have to put your top back on, it can be a big pain in the ass. Nice hot summer day, piece of cake.
