Not suitable for CJ7!: Bikini

The front is not wide enough for the buttons. I installed the recommended bestop windshield duct, which fits perfectly with the windshield frame. However, the front is so narrow that the latch section also slides into the channel. You will need to drill through the folded top and channel to install the latches. I also have a family roll bar so it fits like #$@# on the sides. DO NOT ORDER THIS TOP, especially if you have a family roll bar!

Pros
  • Swimwear and Capes
Cons
  • Weight

Latches cannot be installed

I already have a complete top from bestop so the windshield duct is already installed. The front edge of the swimsuit top is not wide enough to allow the latches to extend beyond the edge of the windshield channel, preventing them from attaching to the windshield frame. Even if it was wider and they went out of the channel, you still couldn't button them up because the entire front edge of the bikini top folds over to cover the buttons. The foldable plastic part on the front edge should end…

Pros
  • Tops
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks

As of March 2017 the clasps are in the wrong position

Easy to put on but the snaps don't fit. Obviously this product is made in China and then packed and shipped by "BESTOP". " without checking for defects and/or incorrect latch position. I could cancel the fitting process and send it back and then order another at their expense and time. Also, the term "Black Crush" is misleading. It's not a soft fabric (like the stuff used for soft tops.) It's just $10 black vinyl and two $2 nylon straps - for the wrong place of its installation.

Pros
  • Bikini
Cons
  • Only available in white
