Terrible customer service!

The product itself is mediocre at best. Customer service is the worst. I've been calling since I received the package and it always goes to voicemail saying "Leave your name and number and we'll call you back." They never answered my call and I was busy, so I couldn't stay on the phone so they won't pick up my package now.

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

They should be told it's not waterproof

Nowhere in the company description does it say this top is not waterproof. But in the fine print in the instructions they deny any responsibility for water ingress. I'm not sure if it's a raincoat. But it's easy to install and looks good. Need some more fabric around the doors as they have gaps to let in more rain.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Brief Instructions

Elastic is useless.

Bought to replace an old model that has seen better days. The fit is great and really protected the cabin from a couple of torrential downpours. The cover material is excellent. The elastic bands holding it in place are useless! Everything was fine for the first few weeks, but after a month the straps were stretching and becoming brittle; They just won't attach to the places they were attached (taillights, tires). I'm thinking of making nylon straps and sewing them onto the lid just to replace…

Pros
  • Sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • Piggy bank Price

but this can easily be mitigated with some support from within

I am just completing my third rainy season (January-December) with this cover. I can't face the thought of missing a topless day, so I leave the hard top and doors off my LJ as much as possible, and this top is cross-strapped to the bed. (Other reviewers are right - it will never be put back in the bag it came in.) I can put it on myself in four minutes, or one if I have a partner. It never really leaked as long as I put it on fully. Over the years, the bands have lost some elasticity, but this

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Repair

Possibly the perfect product

UPDATED 8/5/2016: Yes, the Bestop case for my 05 Rub Unlimited is STILL going strong after years of Florida sun and rain. This is without a doubt the best add-on product I've bought for my Jeep. UPDATE 2015-09-25: This top is still going strong after the continued abuse of the Florida weather! Upgrade to 5-star.Sun. I have a habit of not leaving 5 star reviews. First, there are too many of them, and second, what kind of product can really be ideal? However, this bestop cover might make me…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Poor

Excellent cover, fits my LiveJournal like a glove. As I type, I see her outside as an unpredictable summer storm hits her. A few minutes earlier I went out to the parking lot and pulled on a blanket because I didn't expect it to rain so quickly. It takes no more than 2 minutes! 2 hinges on the windshield hinges, 2 hinges on the taillights, 1 large hinge around the spare wheel, 3 gas caps on each side and then finally lower body clips with a good spring load. The hardest part about using this…

  • Best

great product Surprisingly easy to put on.

All summer long I've been running in a safari top only with my 2005 Wrangler Unlimited. I usually walk barefoot as it occasionally rains in the afternoon. I mostly leave the jeep outside and only occasionally make room in the 1 car garage when a big storm hits. I ordered a Bestop Trail tent and the day I received it the rain and wind were the worst I can remember in Colorado. It was raining at over an inch an hour, the wind was blowing at 35mph with gusts up to 75. This lasted for over 2 hours…

Pros
  • Hands-free kit
Cons
  • So far, so good
