I have a question about the gaps between the full doors and the bikini top. I have a 4 door JK and recently put on the bikini top for the Summer. The question is.. is there a way to close up the gap between the doors and the top to keep the rain water from pooling on top and rushing between the gap and getting me soaking wet Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Yes, you have to have the plastic door surrounds that come with the soft top. If you only got the hard top you could probably order them by themselves.

Check Ebay, sometimes you'll see a set on there.

Search 2007 Jeep Wrangler

Also search JK Forum for threads on the safari top,
this issue is covered.

I don't think you can use the door seals with the bikini top.
Unless you put holes in it for the bolts.

I have the Bestop safari top.

It can either strap to the rollbar(hard top only JKs)

Or it can use the tracks from the door surrounds
(Soft or dual-top JKs)

So I you have the Bestop product and a hardtop
JK, you just need to get a set of door surrounds
and your watertight, except for the cargo area.

I just installed my Best top Bikini top today on my 4 dr Unlimited for the first time. The bikini top clips to the plastic door surrounds like the regular soft top does. The fit is ok.

I went to the dealer with the same question and after a week I got a call back saying you would need the door surrounds. (about $315 is the price he gave me) He told me they don't have another way to seal it to the doors. Supposedly they are working on a way to make a mopar safari top that will seal to the doors without the softtop rails, but it is not available yet.

I'd like to get a safari top also, but may wait a summer to see what other options come around.

I'd like to get a bikini top, but from what I've just read, it seems that its not possible to seal the top to the cargo area... rains alot here and with the subwoofer in the back that could (will) be a problem.

Anyone know if there is a bikini top that seals to the cargo area or if there's a way to DIY?

Thanks all. Looks like my next mod is to get the door surrounds. joedude have you looked into duster covers or instatrunks?
