Default Good bikini top?

None know of a good bikini top for a JK 4 door? I bought a bestop and absolutely hate it; the quality is horrible and the gutter inserts are impossible to put in. Not it mention the little Velcro straps around the roll bar which rotate in 5 minutes of being on the road.

Rugged Ridge makes one, but I can't tell you about the quality of it

The back one are going to turn over time. I suppose a top prop would help. I have the Mopar version and really like it.

You may want to look at spiderwebshades. Really cool and you don't need a header.

Highly recommend spider web shades. No need to take it off when you put the soft top up. We got the heavy version for going off road.

I first went the Best Top route. No old, constantly twists and blows up in the center. Got rid of it and bought the Spiderweb shade. It's awesome and you never have to adjust it. Plus it stays on all the time even underneath the hardtop. Here is some photos under the hardtop.

Isn't there another company that makes something similar to the spiderweb shade? Anybody know the name or have a comparison?
