Hi so I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right area and i have searched and couldnt find anything on this but I need some help on a bestop safari bikini top that I just purchased. I got the straps as tight as I can and the rear part of the top flaps like crazy at highway speeds and the front fills with air, when I slow down for in town driving the front droops again like I didn't tighten it. I've never had a soft top or bikini top before and I followed bestops instructions anyone have any advice on this?. sorry for the long post and thanks for any help.

I am in the same boat. I bought the same thing for my 12 two door and took it down after my first drive over 40 mph. Is the flapping something we are going to have to deal with or is it something we are doing wrong?

Y'all might need a top prop. Quadratic sells them. It's a fiberglass bar that makes a bow in the top to take up any looseness.
I have the Mopar version and the back sags over time. The back straps tend to roll forward. The only time it bothers me, is when it rained a little and I get a bath when I turn.
