Default Trek Top Questions

Anyone that has one of these, do you like them? Also how well does it hold up being frameless? Thinking of selling my original soft top and buying one of these but I'm wanting to know from people who have them, if they are worth it or not. Thanks. Also what would be a good price to sell the original soft top off of a 2013 2 door?

I like mine but I never had the factory soft top to compare it too.

Love mine much more than the factory soft top. There are several long and detailed threads covering the Trektop, search a little bit and you can read to your heart content.

I've had mine for a month and still can't get it to fit right. Can't zip it all the way. I damaged the tailgate bar trying to get it to fit. I still like the fast back look and would prefer this over stock soft top.

I love mine. MUCH better than the factory top. If you're having trouble with the install you're probably doing it wrong (like I did the first time), check YouTube for some hints. Basically, you have to start all the zippers about 2" then do the sides, then the back and it works. Once you figure it out, it's really easy to do.

Right on. If you can't get it on right then your process is flawed. OP: I assume you mean the Trektop NX? The original trektop is a piece of dog crap. The NX is very very nice. I can't believe bestop ever put their name on the first one.

I just bought a used two year old NX that was in great condition and did the install two days ago. It was a bear to do as it was only in the mid 60s. I was able to tweak yesterday and the fit is awesome! Will be going to Topless Day in MA tomorrow without the side and rear windows.

Just installed mine last night for the first time. Like every one says, it's needs to warm! I was fighting with the zippers until the sun came out this morning.

I have the NX and I love it. Sometimes I wish It was easier to just take off and go full topless. I do like how it keeps the kids out of the sun for the most part though.
