Default Trektop NX

An anyone recommend this top or not? I like the look of the "fastback" and haven't seen any other kind of soft top that does it. The only problem I have seen is sag in the back.
Thanks for the help.

im also looking at this top. it seemed great until i saw the threads on it leaking. do a search and you will find a coupe of people have had some frustrating issues with soaked front seats.

I like it...no leaks, big improvement over my stock 2008 softtop. Only recommendation is if you don't already have a stock soft top, go to the dealership and buy a stock tailgate bar and replace the POS that bestop provides with the Trektop NX

with the nx, can you still get the full convertible look? i tried to find a video, it looks like you can take off the back windows, but the back seat of a jku has to stay covered? or does it fold all the way down like the factory softtop?

Thanks for the advice. I was looking at the top on a website and they sold the door and tailgate surrounds separately. Should I buy them all from Jeep or just the tailgate bar?

The top comes with everything it's just that the bestop tailgate bar sucks so get a stock one to use

I have a 2011 2 dr, bought the trektop nx 2months ago when I bought the jeep, I took the hard top off put the trektop on and its been on until yesterday when I decided that the nor'easter that blew thru here last week was enough to put the hard top back on. I can honestly say that the top is great, I have had no leaks the sunrider feature is nice and quick but I agree that if you want to go topless, it is a pain. And... that back bar is a PITA.
