The Bestop Sunrider for Hardtop gives 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK and JKU hardtop owners open-air driving without removing the hardtop or committing to a full soft top conversion.

  • No more bulky freedom panels to remove...
Style: Jeep Wrangler JK (2007-2018) Pattern Name: Sunrider Color: Black Diamond
This took me a bit longer than 40 mins to install. I was able to install myself. I actually watched an install video on you tube by Bestop. Made install easier. Please follow instructions exactly. I decided to jump steps and therefore prolonged the install. The instructions also call for cutting into bar padding, however, I had removed my faded sport bar padding a couple years ago and have been running bare bars for awhile so lining up the screw holes was easy for me. Once complete, I am absolutely satisfied with this item. This definitely makes opening your Jeep top convenient. This top is like a convertible, you just unhook and pull top back. Within seconds you go from top to topless. I even did this at a red stoplight. I was also able to open the sunshade and shoot the video at the same time. Easy peasy. I had a shadeidea mesh shade installed and this would have worked in conjunction to that however, it would have been in the way of operating this sunshade effectively. The material is high quality. It doesnt appear to make much noise while driving closed, as far as rain getting in, I haven't had this for a rainfall just yet. Keep in mind, upon being a new item, the first few times of closing shade will be a little tight. But the more I'm using it, the easier it gets. The sun needs to help stretch the material. Definitely worth the price. The good thing is, you can remove this easily to re-install freedom panels if you get bored. I ordered the Black Diamond version because of all the off-roading I do.. I heard the Twill is harder to keep clean. Thank you Bestop for coming out with this fun Jeep accessory. I ordered the retractable mesh shade that goes with this sunrider and have left a review with video.. go check it out. ... show more

  • Favorite Upgrade
Style: Jeep Wrangler JK (2007-2018) Pattern Name: Sunrider Color: Black Diamond
I don't know why I waited so long to get this upgrade. I live in a location where car break-ins are common, so a full soft top is not an option. I found this option and was a little annoyed that it cost almost as much as a full soft top, so I waited on the decision. I'm glad I finally pulled the trigger. The top panels are so big, cumbersome, and are hot to touch in the sun. I could never fit them in the back with my two large German shepherds. Now, it's an easy flip! To all those that say it's loud, it's not that much louder. Jeeps are loud vehicles because they don't have any insulation anywhere. When it's open, I've gone 80mph and it doesn't flap. The only time I've heard flapping is when there's a cross breeze when you're riding. Installation was super easy to follow, but I've done a few mods before, so I feel comfortable doing these. Took me maybe an hour with 1 person. It fits perfectly, and for me, everything lined up well. I have not washed the jeep yet, so I can't say whether or not there are any leaks - fingers crossed. One area on the passenger side door gets a little hung up on the rain rail, and the fabric bunches a bit when I close the top, but I just manually straighten it out. Not a big deal. Overall, great product. Wish it was a little less expensive, but you get what you pay for, so I am anticipating that this lasts many years. ... show more

  • It leaks and customer support is a long drawn out process
Style: Jeep Wrangler JK (2007-2018) Pattern Name: Sunrider Color: Black Diamond
I installed the sunrider and it leaked over the passenger side door. I un-installed and reinstalled double checking that everything was flat and well fitting with no folds or crimps. It still leaked (4 days to dry out my jeep- Thanks Best Top) . Two days after putting in an online warranty request I followed up with a phone call since I received no email even confiming that my request was received. Both customer service gals I spoke with were polite and courteous. I was cut off from the first one. That was a week and a half ago. Since then I have been emailing back and forth with their support person, including pictures. I email one day and they email back the next. I have said I believe the piece over the door may be defective. They tell me the mucket seals should be under the door surrounds, which means nothing to me. The video shows it being placed on the hardtop and windshield frame from the top. I did that. I've compared it to the side that doesn't leak and they look exactly the same. I told them this 2 days ago. I'm getting very frustrated with the extremely slow resolution. Wouldn't the simple solution be to send out a replacement part? I have family in town over the 4th of July weekend with more rain predicted. My passenger will be drenched! I am now passed the 30 day return window (frustrating). The customer service leaves a lot to be desired. If the product didn't leak, I would recommend it. Given all the time I have wasted in communication, uninstalling/reinstalling, checking this and that, taking/sending pictures, and rewashing the installation video I'd give it a ZERO! ... show more

  • Ray Install - No Leaks
Style: Jeep Wrangler JK (2007-2018) Pattern Name: Sunrider Color: Black Diamond
Install took 45 minutes. Be sure to clean your seals before installing! They get pretty dirty. Can be done with one person but 2 made it easier. Not difficult at all. Pop in brackets with existing screw pins, throw top on, tighten down and done! First day out was monsoon rains with high winds, not a drop of water entered cabin. Have had installed 10 days. Is it noisey? Not really. No flapping sound when closed an occasional whoosh in high winds. When open it's a little more noisey as the the folds of top will catch some wind now and then, but no flapping like a duck taking off from water. I don't think I'd want to cruise at 70mph with it open noise wise, but for local driving up to 55,mph, no problem,- minor noise- not enough to need to turn radio up. ... show more

  • Wildly Convenient!
Style: Jeep Wrangler JK (2007-2018) Pattern Name: Sunrider Color: Black Diamond
So I tackled this install by myself and it was a little difficult purely because of the dimensions of the product (like lifting it up to get it on top of my Jeep). Otherwise it is a simple install and watching YouTube videos were super helpful before attempting. The material is a good quality and the framing seems sturdy. Do yourself a favor and just pop the Jeep bits included with the vehicle into your drill to make it faster, but don’t over tighten! It helps if you have the top out in the sun for a little while so it can stretch after you get it put on. It’s pretty tight at first. Low road noise and it even rained on it and no leaks! Pretty happy with this purchase, well worth the money. ... show more

  • A great addition that transformed my JK
Style: Jeep Wrangler JK (2007-2018) Pattern Name: Sunrider Color: Black Diamond
I have a 2013 JK Sport 2 dr hardtop, and like a lot of people I did not like wrestling with the freedom top panels and having to carry them in the back. I love having the top open but where I live in the mountainy SW US there is a lot of elevation change everywhere I go, as much as 2,500 ft in less than 20 miles, which means the temperature and weather in general can change quickly. Just being around mountains means you have to be prepared for any type of weather unexpectedly, and in the SW it tends to get cool after sunset even in the summer. Although the Sunrider soft top was far more expensive than I thought it should have been when compared to a full soft top, I bit the bullet and ordered one (the price dropped somewhat after I bought mine). I was able to install it by myself in about an hour. It has transformed my JK into a true convertible with a top that can be thrown open or closed in seconds as weather conditions change, without leaving the driver's seat. I am happy so far with the quality. It looks and feels OEM. It doesn't rain much here and I haven't had the top in the rain yet, and probably never will (my Jeep is a pleasure use only toy), so I don't know how rain-tight it is at this point, but It's very tight and comfy at freeway speeds with very little road or wind noise. I now leave those big ol' bulky freedom panels and the back seat at home and everything behind the front seats is available for cargo space. If you can stomach the price I highly recommend this top. ... show more

  • Worth the investment
Style: Jeep Wrangler JK (2007-2018) Pattern Name: Sunrider Color: Black Diamond
I have really loved having the sun rider on my jeep. It’s such a big upgrade and not having to remove the hard top to put a full soft top over winter is so nice. It gives the benefits of both being able to easily lift it for the summer and keeping the hard top in the back for the winter. Once you get the hang of install you can get it to fit perfectly. I have not had any leak issues with it and even after having it for over a year the color has kept dark. It is expensive for what it is but if you like getting the top off your jeep regularly it’s a good investment. ... show more

  • Doesn't fit
Style: Jeep Wrangler JK (2007-2018) Pattern Name: Sunrider Color: Black Diamond
I wanted to like this. It is a good concept, definitely better than lugging those awkwardly-large freedom panels around when the weather is nice. It looks good, too. And flipping it open to open the roof was almost magic. Unfortunately, that's as far as I got because it simply wouldn't latch. I read the other reviews saying it wouldn't fit, but surely those buyers were doing something wrong ... right? Nope. I should've paid better attention to those reviews, especially the ones saying it wouldn't fit a 2016 Wrangler JKU. Maybe it's specific to that model, but one thing is for sure: it wouldn't fit on my 2016 Wrangler JKU. I'm not new to Jeeps or installing soft tops. This one simply wasn't big enough for the latches to reach the hooks. Even after leaving it in the sun for hours to make it more pliable, and taking out the bolts except for the factory mushroom bolts, it wouldn't latch. Like so many other buyers said, the installation process was tedious because the bolt holes don't line up. It isn't difficult...just frustratingly tedious. The worst part: if you have a JKU, you have to make slits in the fabric cover on your sports bars. So, basically, I damaged my Jeep for nothing. I had originally ordered from Bestop but it was going to be on backorder for several weeks. I'm thankful for that, at least, because I came to Amazon after canceling the original order, and Amazon makes returns such a breeze. TLDR: Nice concept, bad engineering. ... show more
