Default BESTOP Safari top?

Has anyone received a Safari top from Bestop? I am trying to decide between the bikini top or the safari.

I bought a safari. Drove 80 miles @ 80-85 mph and it ripped the straps from the flapping. Hope you have better luck.

I have the mesh safari. I really like it. It is very tight and was hard to get on at first(eith door frames). I like it.

I have the Safari top and have driven over 80 mph for 350+ miles and mine is holding together great. I did have to tighten it once during the trip. To keep it from flapping put a pool noodle inbetween the top and the sound bar...it works great!

Bestop has become a company that does not care about the quality of their products. I had a problem with my Bikini top flapping so loud that I almost lost my hearing. I called them and emailed them and they just blew me off. Now I ordered the Hardrock Rock doors from 4 wheel parts on 04/07/07. They keep calling Bestop to see where my doors are and every time they get different answers. First the 20th, then the 24th, then shipped today, now Bestop says they are on back order until middle of May. I cancelled the order. Bestop customer relations sucks...

When running the safari top with the door surrounds, how do they address the sunrider latches that stick up?
