Bestop Jeep Soft Top Overview

Select your vehicle to confirm the Jeep Tops fit

Why Bestop?

If you have a Jeep manufactured later than 1985 that still has its factory-original soft top - or hardware - still installed, it is made by Bestop. Bestop was named the OEM of soft tops and accessories for Jeep in 1986 and has since become the OEM of soft tops and accessories for Suzuki, Isuzu, GM, Toyota and many other SUV lines. Bestop has also been serving the Toyota truck and accessories market for the Land Cruiser for more than 30 years.

Bestop's Patented Belt-Rail System

When it comes to soft tops, what sets Bestop apart from the competition is the patented Belt-Rail channel mount system. The Bestop-developed system allows you to attach a replacement top to your vehicle without drilling. (Note: Vehicles manufactured before 1986 may require initial installation of the Belt-Rail system with an aftermarket top, but - once installed - replacing the top will be easy and hassle-free.)

The Belt-Rail system is a channel mounted along the tub of your vehicle. Every applicable Bestop replacement soft top comes with a sewn-in plastic retainer strip along the hem that simply slides into the channel, forming a snug fit without snaps or drilling. The Belt-Rail system makes replacing, removing or readjusting your soft top a snap - without the snaps.

Replacing Fabric and Frame

If the bows, hardware and fabric are worn out, look into the following Bestop soft tops.

Supertop

The Supertop is Bestop's most popular aftermarket replacement top for Jeep (1955-Current). Supertop offers the highest quality in fit, function and appearance. The top is constructed of durable, stretch-and-set fabric - the same fabric used by the OEM - and comes in factory-match colors for a seamless transition from your original top to the aftermarket model. Features include snapless installation with the Belt-Rail system, an adjustable bow support system, zip-out side and rear windows, a tailgate bar and a variety of door kit options.

Sunrider

If versatility is the most important attribute in your search for a replacement soft top, the Bestop Sunrider could be what you are looking for. The Sunrider features the same quality fabric as Bestop's other soft top applications, with the added bonus of a built-in sunroof over the Jeep cockpit. The versatility extends beyond the sunroof with the option to fold Sunrider completely down for a true open-air driving experience. The soft top stows in the rear cargo area while not in use. Sunrider is available for Jeep models 1976-2006 and attaches to the vehicle with Bestop's patented Belt-Rail channel mount system, included in the kit.

Trektop

Bestop's newest soft top - the Trektop - is specifically designed for Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited starting with the 1997 models. The Trektop's unique design does not require a bow system, attaching directly to your vehicle's roll bars and securing to the door surrounds with Velcro and straps - making installation a breeze. Trektop features a rollback canopy over the cockpit and a stylish slant back with a removable rear window curtain.

Replacing Fabric Only

If the bow system and hardware is in good shape, but the fabric is damaged or worn out, look into the following Bestop soft top fabric replacements.

Sailcloth Replace-A-Top

Billed as "the quietest soft top on the market", the Bestop Sailcloth Replace-A-Top is 50 percent quieter than a conventional factory soft top. Sailcloth Replace-A-Top is available for Jeep models 1988 and later and attaches over your factory-original hardware, employing a unique, multi-layer fabric that reflects road sounds, absorbs wind noise and prevents buffeting. The unique Sailcloth fabric resists temperature-induced shrinkage to make cold-weather installations easy, and the top shows fewer waves and wrinkles than conventional tops. Sailcloth Replace-A-Top is a fabric application only and requires your vehicle's factory-original hardware for installation.

Replace-A-Top

Replace-A-Top is the most economical way to replace an aging, factory-original soft top. The Replace-A-Top attaches over your factory-original hardware, which includes Bestop's patented Belt-Rail channel mount system, and is available for Jeep (1976-2006). The Replace-A-Top is constructed from fabric specifically designed to stretch for easy installation and return to form once in place over the hardware. Additional features include zip-out side and rear windows and a rear attachment system that allows you to open the tailgate without having to remove the rear window. The Replace-A-Top is a fabric application only and requires your factory-original hardware for installation.

The Skin includes the same quality fabric and features of the original Supertop, but the kit is a fabric and window application only. Bow support hardware and Belt-Rail system are required for installation and should already be in place on the vehicle.

Alternative Looks

Tired of the factory-original look? Check out the following soft tops for something a little different.

Halftop

The Bestop Halftop combines the features of three Bestop Jeep products - the Header Bikini, Windjammer and Duster Deck Cover - to form a complete package for Wrangler models 1992-2002. The Header Bikini folds back for an instant sunroof, a zip-out rear window in the Windjammer curtain exposes a built-in mesh screen for additional ventilation of the cockpit, and the Duster Deck Cover provides a seal over the rear cargo area. The Halftop comes with Bestop's patented Belt-Rail channel mount system, but is specific to your vehicle's factory-original soft top, because it anchors to the door surrounds and uses the factory top's tailgate bar to complete the installation.

The Bestop Tigertop is designed specifically for older-model Jeeps (1941-1986) to maintain the classic, rugged styling of the original Jeep. Tigertop attaches to your vehicle with hidden snaps for a smooth appearance and features black, powder coated hardware for durability. Some Tigertop applications include full soft doors, and roll-up side windows come on all models for a safari-style look. The kit includes all bow assemblies and hardware required for installation.
