Default besttop trectop nx

This top sucks!! I hate it and wish I never sold my OEM top and bought it. Tried to put it on in 85 degree weather and still had a hard time. If I fold the top back i have to fight with it to get it latched again the back windows flap in the wind when they fall out of the slot that holds them in. The back window is impossible to open and if you do get it open you have to fight with it to put it back in. Very poor design. Had the same top for my TJ and loved it yea it was hard to get on at first but nothing like this. Im one step away from trashing it.

You're in the minority then, yeah the initial install can be a bit of a challenge, but not a single complaint since then. Im sure u can find someone that'll buy it from you before u trash it

No issues with mine either. Install was a breeze and it still fits great, on and off super easy. I'm really happy with it.

I will say that it seems us jk guys have far less problems than jku guys.

Yes it is a jku. Maybe I got a defective one I know they are on back order maybe they are rushing to make them a not making them correct. I can't ever see this thing fitting correctly or not being a pain in the ass to work with.

Definitely sucks, I've had mine on for almost 6 months and I can't think of a single bad thing to say about it. Never even had any of the install horror stories I've heard so much about.

Someone will buy if off you, that's for sure.

Maybe I just need to let this thing loosen up for a bit. I know my TJ was very tight and it loosened up. I get frustrated and I need to vent sometimes. Better to vent on the forum than take a knife to the top.
