Default Wild Boar Targa Hard Top

I picked up my Wild Boar targa Hard top and love it!

It took a couple weeks longer than I expected because the roof rack was on back order and there were a few mis-communications regarding install date and time. Also, the window defroster was not hooked up. I'll have to ask my mechanic to do it. There was a very small issue when charging my card, they cleared it up immediately.

The roof rack makes wind noise which I wasn't expecting. I spoke to Greg at Wild Boar and they suggested a wind break that can be installed, but they haven't called me back with the info. The top itself seems quieter. It seems really well made. I haven't been in a rain yet or on the trail, but it seems tight. If it leaks or rattles I'll definitely add to this write up.

I have a PSC roll cage. The targa top bolts did not fit perfectly and had to be drilled out, but that was no big deal. Rafael was professional and very nice during the install. He even helped the guy that met me there and bought my old hard top install the old one.

All in all, I am satisfied and LOVE the way it looks both inside and out. The inside is lined with a kind of indoor/outdoor type material that looks great.

I've had tons of complements from passer bys. Not too many out there yet. Wild Boar has had their share of bad reviews, but they are making improvements and it shows.

Looks good. I had the T Top style, only thing I didn't like was the lack of rain gutters over the doors. Mine didn't leak, hope yours doesn't either.

Looks great!
The only experience I've had with Wild Board has been to communicate cracks in weld on my WB fast rack, unfortunately they never responded.
Then again that rack is 7 years old and I had already gotten a bean put on the 3" of crack

Well, it rained pretty damn hard. The seals around the rear window leak. I contacted Wild Boar. They are going to replace the seals and install a wind faring in front of the rack. I may cancel the faring because I am still considering a 50" light in front of the rack. They will also be installing their air system. I'll post a write up in regards to the air after its installed.
