I would skip the bikini top and go with the spiderweb shade. I haven't put my bikini top on since I bought mine last year.

I agree, Bestop is great quality. I've got their bikini top on most of the year

Any problems with flapping or staying tight with the best top?

I would save 60 bucks and buy a 7 foot piece of the shade material at Home depot. Buy some grommets and some ball bungees at harbor freight - $18 bucks.

I bought the spiderwebshade and this one I made in 1 hour for under $20 beats it and no flapping whatsoever.

If you are creative it should be nothing to it for you, PM me if you want details on dimensions etc...

The Mopar Sunbonnet is very nice. I use it from spring to fall.

Just drove the 85 miles to work this morning with my new (to me) Bestop bikini. By the end of the drive I was ready to eat a bullet. Pulled over twice to cinch the rear straps down, the flapping was driving me crazy. Worst $150 I've spent...
