Highly recommend this product! It was easy to install, you could use an extra person, but if you absolutely had to you can do it with just one person. There is a QR code for a video to help you, it is a little bit different than the actual product but still the same idea. I drove with this on the highway and it was durable and secure. It’s easy to open and close. I was able to do it in my own. I am so happy that I do not have to keep putting my freedom panels on, this is very functional. Having the option to just open my top makes it easy for a comfortable ride when and where ever.

Easy one person install. Cabin is a bit louder as you'd expect, but this has been great during the summer. Even in winter, terrible rain and wind, it holds up really well. I've had zero issues. Convenience during the summer to quickly just pop open and let in more air and light are well worth the cost and increased road noise.

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!

There is definitely an improved version and that’s what I got. Installation was easy. No weird z clips fiddling since there is an improved design that you just screw in the system. I’ve seen videos of the top flapping at highway speeds. Well that’s been improved too. The top is secured to the bars now so there can be no flap. I drove windows up at 80mph and can converse normally on Uconnect and in person. Windows down sounds like the windows down and with no flapping. I was a bit concerned about purchasing due to noise levels but I barely notice a difference from the freedom panels. The rain beats down on it like a normal convertible would sound. This product is great!

I waited and waited to pull the trigger on this. I just didn’t think it would be worth the money and/or that it would be difficult to install, difficult to use, would leak, etc. I have been VERY pleasantly surprised. Though it says it’s a two person job, I had no trouble assembling and installing it myself and it’s very easy to use. And I really love using it. We’ve had several strong storms and I’ve driven in rain. There are no leaks. I felt compelled to leave this review because of how impressed I’ve been.

I've had a hell since 1986 and have become very familiar with bestop. This was incredibly easy and quick to install. Took it for a quick drive tonight to be sure it didn't fly off on my way to work. I was really happy with how quiet and good it looks.

Very easy to install, more wind noise. Live in the desert so not much rain, but the little I have had, no leaks so far. Haven't tried to take it off so far, because I like the option of popping the top and enjoying the nice days on the spur of the moment.

Awesome addition to my 23 Gladiator Rubicon. The top fit perfectly, well engineered and was an easy install. Instructions could have better diagrams. Through no fault of Bestop I stripped the flat head on the binding barrel. I reached out 3 times by email and no response. If you call they say they will get back to fast but they never got back to me at all. I want to rip them up on here but aside from the cheap screw head and awful customer service the product is simply amazing. You pay for it though, it's pricey but worth it and the convenience on the fly.
