There are numerous choices depending on the features you need or want, and what your budget will allow. Last issue we reviewed the Rampage Trailview Frameless Soft Top and fell in love with the easy install and the ability to open the sunroof with one-hand from inside the Jeep. This issue we got our hands on a Bestop Trektop NX Glide. While both tops are fastback styles with removable tinted windows that change your roof into a safari top, the NX Glide is the first fully convertible fastback roof! The Glide portion of the name refers to their zipperless window install, where instead of zippers the windows slide into and out of place on tracks. The advantage is that switching from a fully enclosed roof to a safari top only takes a minute, and the glides seem to have a more watertight seal than zippers. The fit and finish of the top is absolutely stellar. Bestop builds the factory tops for Jeep, so they have the technology and machinery to build tops that look as good as factory, because they are the factory. The NX Glide is available in two fabrics. The 30 oz black twill which comes with 40 mm 30% tinted windows, and the slightly more affordable black diamond, with 30 mm windows. The black twill has a layer of neoprene sandwiched between the outer layer and inner lining for better sound absorption. This extra insulating layer also keeps your Jeep warmer in winter and cooler in summer. The twill is a rich looking, deep black fabric with a great interior finish, which is why it is also used in Aston Martin’s, Jaguars etc. But don’t let the soft fabric-like feel fool you as Bestop backs this fabric up with a limited lifetime warranty. There are handy zippered mesh pockets in the roof above the driver and passenger seats, just keep in mind that when you flip the Sunrider back, to provide both front and rear seats with the sunroof experience, you can’t access the pockets. It’s a no cut, no drill installation that takes one person under 4 hours, watch the Bestop install video first (I did the night before). I had the complete install done in 3.5 hours by myself.
