52454-17 Sunrider For Hardtop Black Twill For Use w/Hard Top Superseded From PN[52452-17] Sunrider For Hardtop

Very happy with this freedom roof replacement, very good quality

Ce toit est fantastique. Cinq secondes pour l'ouvrir et cinq secondes pour le fermer. Fini le remisage des toits rigides et le doute des températures nuageuses. J'ai ce toit depuis environ deux semaines et je l'ouvre à chaque fois que je roule avec mon Jeep (Wrangler JL 2021 Altitude). Je profite maintenant pleinement de l'ouverture de ce toit. J'y ai pensé longtemps avec de l'acheter. Je suis extrêmement satisfait de mon achat. Les toits rigides sont encombrants dans le coffre et sont assez pesants dans le sac de remisage. Il est un peu dispendieux mais sa fonctionnalité est exceptionnelle. N'hésitez pas à vous en commander un, vous ne le regretterez pas. Le mien est en sergé (twill). Ce n'est pas plus bruyant que le toit rigide et il est totalement étanche. L'apparence de mon Jeep parait encore mieux qu'avec mes toits rigides Le vendeur aurait pu fournir deux petits capuchons noirs pour couvrir le bout des boulons qui dépassent les barres transversales du toit. J'ai réglé le problème en installant deux petits capuchons noirs de valves de bicyclettes sur ceux-ci. C'est beaucoup mieux. L'installation complète du toit a pris trente minutes. Je vous suggère d'insérer les S de métal du toit sur les barres transversales avant de les visser à la carrosserie. Ce sera plus facile. Sur YouTube ils font le contraire et c'est très pénible. Nous ne les voyons jamais insérer les S entièrement. Bon achat !

Although I have both a hardtop and a full soft top for my Jeep I wanted to give this a try. Taking off the freedom panels and storing them or lugging them around in case you need to put the top on is a pain in the ass. I also don't want to destroy my soft top when off roading (branch through a window or top) as my hard top has already taken some hits from branches that's left deep scratches on the back of the roof. This seems like the best of both worlds. Easy to flip back when I want some sun, close it when its cool out and still have most of the security of the hard top for items left in the Jeep. Installation was fairly easy. I did see a review further down that had a picture of a bad fitting seam at the back of the top. I think they installed it incorrectly. Watch a video from Quadratec on youtube and it goes over the step where you need to tuck a plastic piece in to avoid this. Its not really clear in the printed instruction. Google - "quadratec youtube sunrider for hardtop JL" and you'll find the video. They go over this step in detail. Otherwise, solid buy although I think its over priced. The price also seems to fluctuate a lot. I've seen it change from around $1130 to $1255 over the course of a few days for the twill version. Keep an eye out and you can save a few bucks.

Fantastic product on sale. This is not an easy 30 minute install. I would recommend purchasing it on sale like I said make an appointment at your nearest 4 x 4 parts or wherever and get it properly installed.

2nd UPDATE July 2022: replaced my 2018 green JL with a ‘22 4xE hybrid (also a JL) and was able to keep this Sunrider top for the new Jeep. It’s still working perfectly and STILL THE BEST accessory I’ve bought for my jeep hands down. Even three years later! UPDATE: NINE MONTHS LATER, it’s STILL my favorite accessory ever AND my freedom panels are still in storage. I have never even taken them out again. I flip my Sunrider top open almost every time I drive unless the weather absolutely will not cooperate. LOVE it and still super happy with the purchase. Original post: I absolutely adore this Sunrider top! I recently went from a 2012 Wrangler Sport JK with a soft top to this 2018 Rubicon Unlimited JL with a hardtop, and while I love the new Jeep overall, I was *not* a fan of messing with Freedom Panels to have the open-air experience. I was accustomed to putting the front section of my soft top back at stop lights (because it was so fast), and switching to the Freedom Panels on a hard top was no bueno for me. Enter the Bestop Sunrider top. I heard good things, and my bestie (who drives a 2018 Wrangler Sahara Unlimited JK) both decided to try it out. We tried hers first (same top but a different version that fits the JK, whereas this one I'm reviewing fits the JL). We put the Sunrider top on her Jeep without much trouble, and she loves it! Works great and probably would give it four stars of five, but only because (like other reviewers) we noticed a couple of the bolts could have been longer and would have made the install on that version a little easier. HOWEVER... this twill Sunrider top that fits the JL is another story entirely! This twill Sunrider top for the JL is completely AMAZING. My friend helped me install it, and she and I both had no experience doing anything like this other than putting a similar Sunrider top on her Jeep a week or two earlier. We installed the top in under a half-hour with NO problems, NO profanity (hahaha), and it fit *perfectly*. Every bolt/screw/part fit beautifully and installed easily. It fit so well and came together so easily I was *convinced* the trouble with it would show up either when I drove it or when I took it through the car wash, but I was definitely wrong! I feared bad road noise when it's closed, and I haven't noticed a difference at all (it's still a Jeep after all... not exactly the first choice if you're looking for a super quiet ride). It rides just fine when it's open as well (and perhaps I should use the velcro straps to tie back the top when it's open, but I *never* do and it seems fine). And at the car wash I was *certain* there would be some water getting through somewhere, but it hasn't let a single drop of water inside. It fit so well it's like a factory part instead of a third-party item. I have only had the Sunrider top on my Jeep for a few days now, but I can easily say it's my favorite accessory I've ever purchased. I love that I can quickly flip a couple of clamps and toss the front section back - even at a stoplight - and if it starts raining I can put the top back on just as quickly and easily. I love this Sunrider top so much I've opted not to store my freedom panels in my Jeep and have actually placed them in storage. I won't be needing them for a while. Or perhaps ever. Thanks, Bestop! You made my new Jeep fun. I'd give you six stars if I could!
