Bestop Pavement Ends 56840-35 Black Diamond Frameless Sprint Top for 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler

Began researching tops for my son's 03 Wrangler after he asked for a new one for his graduation gift. I read dozens of reviews before finding out that a collegue at work had installed one of these on his own Jeep. I found one on Amazon Warehouse Deals for under $300 and ordered. Everything I read indicated this would take about an hour to install, and for me and my son that was an understatement. It took more like 3 hours, but we had to measure and drill holes for the bar that allows for the top to be folded back above the front seats. It did contain everything needed to install using the factory header bar, door frames, and tailgate bar. The installation itself was not difficult, just time consuming. Once we got the main top installed, we did find the side and rear windows difficult to zip in because of how tight the top fits. I will say that once it's on...IT'S ON!! Its a lot tighter than a frame top and cuts the road noise down by about half! Now that its had time to settle to his Jeep the windows can be removed and re-installed much easier, and when the windows are out, it's very similar to having a bikini top. This is a very cool and versatile top that is made from quality materials, and my son absolutely loves it! For the record, it replaced a BestTop frame top, and my son says after having this one he will never go back to a frame top.

First impressions: Love it. Its easy to install. I have pretty good expierence fixing things and it took two of us about 2 hours to install. Its really compact and light. Feels durable. Has about the same amount wind noise on the highway as compared to the OEM soft top. I will put an update in a month. Update: Its been clearly more than a month, but its still on and working great!

La instalación fué sencilla. Queda perfecto. Es muy conveniente la forma en que se quita el techo medio para dias calurosos. La lona se siente mas ligera comparado con otras marcas pero hasta ahorita no ha habido problema.

Bueno, pues Amazon se porto excelente con su servicio al cliente, quiero decir que me cambiaron el toldo y esta vez llego completo, respecto al producto quiero decir que se ve genial en mi jeep, quedo perfecto, fue muy fácil de instalar y no entra nada de agua, de verdad por el precio esta súper este toldo. Primero tardo 2 días más el envió y después me llego incompleto, hacen falta piezas por lo menos 3 y no trae instrucciones de instalación. Ya que manden el reemplazo que tarda aproximadamente 10 días más, actualizo la reseña.

Nice fit! Very good quality, pretty tight... I installed it at 20oC, so my fingers hurt! Took me 2 hours and I was alone. I took a vernier to place the flip top’s brackets. No pockets for back and side windows compared to other brand (-1 star because of that). But the flip-top device is amazing.
