Like others have said, easy on and off. I like the look of mine. The only thing I don't like is the loss of cubes in the back. If you plan on hauling stuff in the back, dogs, gear etc, you might want a regular soft top NX.

We have one on my son's 2011. I like the look but it's noisier that the stock soft top on y 2013.

I just bought mine...it's amazing how much they have increased in price since this thread started in 2012. I got mine for $729, should arrive in a few days.

I guess I don't get these slanted tops? not nearly as good looking as the stock top and then you lose room in the back. What gives?

I think they are way better looking than the stock top!

Had the old NX top and when I went to latch it down for the first time it tore away from the latch! Took it back and got the updated one and love it!

If you plan on using the Rigid SRM-2 brackets on your tail lights it's going to be a pain in the ass to remove your NX top! FYI

I love the top! I had one question about it though, whenever it's nice and I just flip the front part back and I'm going down the highway it's starts to bounce. It will slam back down and hit the top of the jeep. I'm not worried about it too much just didn't want it to happen and bend something. Was wondering if anyone else had this and did something about it like strapped it down or what not?

I like the look on the four door not as much on two door though which I have. About time though- I can have my two door top golden back in less than 10 seconds. Disconnect windshield header and push up and it flips back perfectly to sunrider mode.

I usually run top up with windows:doors off. To flip top down takes another 45 seconds if the windows are out.

Maybe it's just my model of soft top? I think it is hard to improve. But- when it's folded down I do like look of trek top better. Maybe I'll get some of those quick disconnects for my top
