Backed by Bestop’s 3-year warranty and decades of Jeep-specific expertise, this upgrade blends factory-quality fit with effortless style and function. ## Description The Bestop Sunrider for Hardtop is built for one purpose: giving Jeep hardtop owners open-air driving without the commitment of a full soft top conversion. Designed specifically for 2018–2026 Jeep Wrangler JL and JLU and 2020–2026 Jeep Gladiator JT, it installs in the front section of your hardtop opening and flips back in seconds from the driver's seat — no tools, no help required. This is a hardtop-only product. It takes the place of the factory Freedom Panel section above the front seats, giving you instant sky access while your rear hardtop panels stay exactly where they are. When the weather changes, flip it back forward in moments and you're covered. Installation is rated Level 1 — Easy. No drilling, no modifications. The fabric-on-frame assembly arrives pre-installed, and door rails are included. Most installations take about 30 minutes with basic hand tools. Every box includes the complete pre-installed fabric-on-frame assembly, front door rails, and full installation instructions. No additional hardware is required for installation. Bestop has been engineering Jeep-specific tops and accessories for over 70 years. The Sunrider for Hardtop is backed by a 3-year warranty and carries Bestop's standard of precision fit for the JL and JT platforms. Designed in the USA, manufactured in Mexico. Review: If you love to go topless this item is for you!! - This top is wonderful, just what I was looking for. Install was not to bad, it said 30 minutes and that was about right. The fit is pretty good although it seem the drivers side is a tighter fit than the passenger side. Lots of air nose from the passenger side and the latch doesn’t seem as tight. It’s pretty easy to use although the metal handle used to push it back get very HOT from the sun. I had to buy a little oven mitt to use to open it. The color match and fit looks factory. Review: Wonderful and easy - This was easy to install and it is easy to open and close. I absolutely love it!!! ## Features - CONFIRMED FIT: Fits 2018–2026 Jeep Wrangler JL (2-door and 4-door JLU) and 2020–2026 Jeep Gladiator JT.
