Product Resources
Features & Product Details
This is a bowless top that features removable windows, it also features factory style door surrounds, and a factory style header bar.
The factory canvas tops are prone to leaking after a certain amount of time. They can be weathered by the sun, moisture, and harsh winters and will eventually develop leaks which can ruin your interior, or cause rust on the floorboard. And since OEM tops can be expensive, and time consuming, Bestop has provided the enthusiast with the Trektop NX.
The Trektop NX is a fun and convenient means of having a sealed top that can handle harsh conditions, but has been built to be easily dismantled during Summer seasons. Instead of using top bows and frames, the Trektop uses Wrangler sport bars to provide shape, and support. This will give the Trektop a fastback look that sets it apart from factory soft tops, or Supertops.
You can remove the side and rear windows, and make the top function as a Safari Bikini Top. Everything is included for a ready installation. You get the fabric, a set of tinted side and rear windows, a set of factory style door surrounds, tailgate bar, and a mildew resistant fabric top. The Top Arch Bar spans above the seating area to reduce flapping noise, and hinder and potential puddling.
Bestop’s exclusive new polymer door surrounds are similar to the OE style door surrounds that are found on other Jeep models. You can choose the optional door style you’d like, and retain your existing steel doors.

This was the first thing I bought for my jeep. Moving to a tropical climate made having a hardtop impractical so I needed a good soft top but didn't want one with a frame. I pretty much run it as a bikini top with no windows year round. But the tinted windows cut down on cabin heat and work great. I ripped one of the Windows a few months after purchase. Bestop's customer service sent me a new window right away with no hassle. Unfortunately it was the wrong window but again, Bestop sent the correct window with no hassles and even let me keep the extra window. The only real downfall to this top are the channels above the doors. In my opinion they are too short and tend to dump water right into the floorboard if your running doorless. But if like me you run without doors in rain or shine, it's merely an annoyance that you get used to.
Due to vandals I had to get a new top. I always had leaking on the factory soft top anyway, even after putting in new seals. This top wasn't very difficult to put on. I think doing it on a sunny day while it was 90 helped. At the same time, being 90 out made it a pain as well. The top looks amazing and is sealed tight. Not so much as a drop comes in from any spot. I got this for my 2010 2 door. For the cons with it. I have a Dirty Dog 4x4 Sunshade. I found it was a bit difficulty to use this top with that shade. Don't get me wrong, I have them both on no problem now but it made installing the top a bit of a pain with it there. Con 2 - The straps on the back when you pull them tight. They look like they are pulling against the sewn threads so if they stay tight I could see the threads coming undone and possibly ripping. So I leave those 2 rear straps loose. I don't have the money to buy a new top if it does happen to rip at the seem. Con 3 - This may just be because it's so new. Removing everything to go topless is super easy.. putting it all BACK on is basically the equivalent of reinstalling the top all over again. So don't plan on it going to quickly with the windows. I'm sure over time that will ease up though. All in all I love the top WAY better than the factory top.. It's way quieter insider and just looked a million times better.
We love the look and performance of this top! Simple to put on after warming the top up in the sun and running the heater for about 15 minutes. Quality of the fabric is very impressive with very little noise even at highway speeds. Definitely recommend this soft top.
I put this top on my JK last summer and I was extremely pleased. The installation was simple, and seems to require much less work than most other tops. The fast back style enhanced the look of the jeep very nicely as well. Removing the top for the winter was just as simple, I can't wait to get it back on for this season.
