This happened to someone else on the forum too. Do a search, I am pretty sure that Bestop paid to fix their jeep.

I ordered mine around Feb. and got it the end of Mar. First installed it in Apr. It was nice and tight, but not too tight. Since, Ive had it on and off at least 5 times, with never any problems. Still waiting for my Windjammer though. Had it ordered since Feb.

I got the mesh one and tried for days to get it to fit into the channels to no avail. I finally just secured it to the rollbar and front using zip ties. It actually works pretty good that way, and I can leave it on and still put the soft top up.

Will the duster work with the soft top folded down, or do you need the top completely off for it?

I was considering the duster as an alternative to the mopar soft top boot, but it sounds like it'd be too tight a ft for my idea.

You need to completely remove the soft top in order for it to work...

I don't think it'll look very clean if you leave the soft top on...IMO

I'll let you all know if Quadratec will have a problem with me returning it...
