Default Frameless soft tops

I am currently looking for frameless soft top. Any suggestions on a good one. I also believe I need extra parts for it. What are they? Thanks

The Trektop NX is probably the most popular. Comes with everything you need.

Default Trektop NX Black Twill

I went with the TREKTOP NX BLACK TWILL, much more expensive but I like the quality of this product, heavier material, heavier tinted windows and a great warranty. It fits tight and hopefully it will stand up to Texas sun longer.

Ditto on the Trektop NX black twill and the TX sun. Bestop makes some really good stuff and after a year, mine still fits as tight as the day I bought it.

These guys speak words of iron. My Trektop NX is nearly as quiet as my old hardtop and also shaved 90 lbs of weight

It does, though I run the hardtop from September to March.

I have the upgraded soft top on my 2014 Rubicon ( no hardtop ). The black twill material is as good as any premium convertible top. Deep black color and very thick material definitely helps with the cabin noise. Excellent product.

The black twill is an amazing upgrade from that cheep plastic stuffer or what's it called. I don't mean to be rude and I'm a big fan of bestop's innovative products but I got the NX in 2012, first off the right window was crooked and I had to replace the rear top beam with a metal tube to prevent it from bending there for flapping. Plus on highway speeds specially on long trips that thing just keeps flapping up and down to the extent the windshield bracket was bending and letting in air.. Very bad experience. Then I just bought the OEM 2014 twill soft top and can't be happier.

I had the same prob with my rear top beam at highway speeds, but once I replaced it with a piece of metal conduit, the flapping went away.
