You use the strap/snaps for when you have the front area over the driver/passenger rolled back. Just secure it to the door surround after you've rolled the top back.

 

I got one for Christmas and just recently put it on. I stripped the passenger side header bolt Trying to tighten the gap. But BestTop is replacing it for me (Surprised considering it was me that broke it). Lots of wind noise at the header, but haven't seen any water come in, except for some in the tailgate when the window wasnt zipped all the way.

Is it me or do you have to peel the side windows back in order to remove the back window completely? Trying to find something to hold it if I just roll it up (elastic or something).

Love the look of it and no major complaints yet. Still trying to get it adjusted just right. Tailgate bar is a bitch to get snapped into place.

No. It's not you, but you don't need to remove anything to remove the rear window. Simply unzip, and angle it out. I slide mine forward from the top left corner towards the driver's seat forward. Just be careful not to scratch the left side window with the bar.

 

[QUOTE=pastorsteve;1653498]Alright, I'll give that a try the next time I'm going to take it out.

 

I put mine on this weekend. It looks awesome, but the tailgate bar is a pain--makes me not want to bother removing the rear window. I've considered rolling the window, but don't want to scratch it.

Also, I assume the whole thing will stretch eventually, right? For now, I'm scared to have the top rolled back when it's below 70 degrees outside because I know I won't be able to get the header re-attached without loosening everything else.

Finally, I wish the header used clips instead of knobs. They're tough to get threaded just right.

 

Your THIRD!

Either they must not be that good or your really hard on them.

They look cool but sound like they are a pain and not that well made judging by what I have been reading.

 

lol, well our first one was one of the ones that leaked at the center seam, the 2nd one was one of the resdesigned ones, but it was too narrow at the rear so velcro wouldn't stay shut, and it was an issue they were aware of. So far so good on this one. They finally got it right I think . They are actually made very well...but definitely a pain, but they look cool, and if you don't have a Sunrider top (which has it's own issues) it is a good alternative, as well as the capability to take all the way off and toss in the back of the Jeep if you choose.

 

So have they been replacing them at no charge? I have a sunrider and have had no issues other then the wind noise at the header rail, occasional leaks.... um... I mean... its perfect and the trek top is stupid.

JK, I do actually like how they look.

 

Mine is super tight too. Hope it loosens up.

 

It will loosen up slightly as it warms but you don't want it loose. It is meant to be tight. Otherwise it will flap and be noisier than a soft top already is.
