I am getting a Supertop NX for the warmer weather, so I have been doing some reading up on them. Several people have posted complaints about the Bestop rear tailgate bar - Leaves daylight showing at the ends, don't like the clips, etc. Some seem to have gone with an OEM Mopar bar and clips with their Supertop. So my question is, whats the real story? For those of you that have a new Supertop NX, how many don't like the rear bar, and how many of you have gotten an OEM bar to replace it?

 

I bought the NX last fall and ran it on my 07 for two weeks before the snow and cold came. Just put it on Friday

I am also looking into getting a stock tailgate bar. My mom has 2010 2dr with a softtop so I might borrow hers and test it

 

Mines still sitting in the box but I went ahead and picked up a stock tailgate bar, its relatively cheap and from every post I've read it fits a lot better than what comes with the top.

 

Put mine on last weekend. Does leave gap and rain got in. I don't know if the oem bar is better or not. Seems most like the OEM bar better. It is anywhere from 70 to 100 dollars. I am going to try an make it work.

 

Thanks for the replies. Looks like I may be getting an OEM tailgate bar.

 

Definitely an mopar tailgate bar. It is a lot easier to get on and off and seals perfectly to the tailgate.

 

I vote Bestop bar. I could not get the rear flaps under the lip of the brackets without the tailgate bar brackets popping off. The Bestop bar worked perfectly.

 

I've just ordered the Mopar, the Bestop is a bitch...

 

Did you order from dealer? What price did u get

 

I used the bestop bar for a few weeks. I switched to the mopar one. Seals the gap and is easier to go on and off, as everyone is reporting. Actually easier to tuck the flaps as well. I could not tuck both flaps with the bestop one.
