Well ill give you my opinion on it. I love the way mine looks. I like how easy it is to take the back panels off and go. Mine does actually leak alittle on the drivers front. I contacted bestop and they are sending me some foam pieces that I've "heard" helps stop the leaking. We will see when I get back home from work. But overall I'm still happy with it reguardless.

Thanks for the quick reply. My stock one leaks on drivers & passenger doors. They want 2 days to fix it, but it won't be fixed after 2 days anyway, so lookin at an upgrade. Post up if the foam works for ya...

There's a huge thread on this in the show and tell section with all sorts of pics, install tips, etc. I love it and am so glad I switched from the OEM top to the NX.

I have a trektop nx on my jku and love it, no leaks and surprisingly very quiet on highway, panels go off and on fast with little trouble, quality is great all the way around.

There are a ton of people running the Trektop NX on this forum. As Afpilot said, the Trektop NX Thread is a plethora of info on it. The overall consensus is that it's an awesome top. The Sunrider and Safari Bikini features make it a super versatile and easy to use top.

I run this on my personal Jeep and I wouldn't trade it for any other top. It fits great, and is a great quality top. Just be sure to elt it sit int he sun for a little while before you attempt an install. It fits super tight the first time you install it, and the sun will help it stretch a little and make it easier to work with.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

I've had this top on two of my Jeeps. The JK model IMO is more user friendly. I love it and have no regrets!

Well bestop sent me the new thicker foam pieces. Installed them today and when I clamped my header down it busted the header plastic around the hinge. Now its really gonna leak lol. Contacted bestop and won't be able to get a new one sent out for 2-3 weeks. Jeep will be out of commission unless its a nice day.

That is surprising that your header busted! I would have never guessed that. Hope your weather is great until the new part comes in.
