Default Trektop Glide alternatives?

I’m looking for a FastBack looking soft top for my 2013 Sahara JKU and I’m wondering if there is any other option than the Trektop Glide. My requirements are:

FastBack (slanted) look
Stays on the Jeep when down (not full removal)
Quickly goes up/down when weather changes
Solid build quality (no leaks, quiet, sturdy, etc.)

At this point all I can find is the Bestop Trektop Glide, but even with that it seems I'll have to buy something to hold the windows when down and it’s not as simple as the original full back soft top rear window that I can just roll up and down.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Is the RUGGED RIDGE VOYAGER SOFT TOP a viable alternative?

If you want good build quality then I'd stay away from the rugged ridge products. I don't know that Rampage makes one, but stay away from those guys as well. Bestop makes the factory tops so if there's going to be one with good quality control, that's where I'd put my money. They're not cheap, but Bestop does stand by their product.

Thank you for the response. The only soft top replacements I’ve ever heard much of anything about are Bestops, but I know a bunch of people dislike the frameless concept and execution. There’s just nothing else with name value, but since these do have a bit of a frame, maybe it’ll be just what I’m looking for 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thanks!
