I have a factory soft top and the zipers are all screwed up and its missing the weather sealing bar thing on the back.


I was thinking about getting a new one, Could anyone recomend me something? I heard from someone at work that the sail cloth brand is less of a pain in the but to put on because it stretches... can anyone confirm that ?

And what advantage does besttop have over getting another factory soft top?

My priorities are:

1) keep me dry
2) not be a pain in the but to put...

Not sure of the advantages of Best to but I recently bought their Trek top for my TJ, I love the look, it was affordable and comes off and goes back on quick and easy!!!

If your zippers are getting buggered up, or even if they're not, a good preventative maintenance tip is to get yourself some drysuit zipper wax from a dive shop, and apply it to the zippers every once in a while. It'll keep your zippers lubed, and they'll last much, much, much, much, much longer....


FWIW, sail cloth isn't a brand, it's a type of cloth. There is no real difference in stretchiness between my Bestop sailcloth bikini top and OEM tonneau cover on my Heep, and my experience with Bestop has been that their tops have a bit better fit and finish than OEM tops.
