It’s the first and only product that provides Jeep Wrangler JL hard top owners instant access to an open air driving experience without leaving the front seat of their Jeep.

Review: Very happy with this freedom roof replacement, very good quality
Review: Exceeds expectations! While the factory "Freedom" Panels work to give a great open air experience, unfortunately we've all learned the hard way that Freedom Panels are cumbersome, heavy, and awkward to use - making it a 'chore' to get the open air experience you want. The Bestop Sunrider Softop solves this problem - it's INCREDIBLY EASY AND CONVENIENT to use when you want to open the top and it's just as easy to close. Additionally the Sunrider is pretty easy to install as well - I did it myself in under an hour just watching a couple vids online. It fits great, looks awesome, is very functional, and does not leak. It's been everything I wanted and more. 100% I would recommend the Sunrider.

Ce toit est fantastique. Cinq secondes pour l'ouvrir et cinq secondes pour le fermer. Fini le remisage des toits rigides et le doute des températures nuageuses. J'ai ce toit depuis environ deux semaines et je l'ouvre à chaque fois que je roule avec mon Jeep (Wrangler JL 2021 Altitude). Je profite maintenant pleinement de l'ouverture de ce toit. J'y ai pensé longtemps avec de l'acheter. Je suis extrêmement satisfait de mon achat. Les toits rigides sont encombrants dans le coffre et sont assez pesants dans le sac de remisage. Il est un peu dispendieux mais sa fonctionnalité est exceptionnelle. N'hésitez pas à vous en commander un, vous ne le regretterez pas. Le mien est en sergé (twill). Ce n'est pas plus bruyant que le toit rigide et il est totalement étanche. L'apparence de mon Jeep parait encore mieux qu'avec mes toits rigides Le vendeur aurait pu fournir deux petits capuchons noirs pour couvrir le bout des boulons qui dépassent les barres transversales du toit. J'ai réglé le problème en installant deux petits capuchons noirs de valves de bicyclettes sur ceux-ci. C'est beaucoup mieux. L'installation complète du toit a pris trente minutes. Je vous suggère d'insérer les S de métal du toit sur les barres transversales avant de les visser à la carrosserie. Ce sera plus facile. Sur YouTube ils font le contraire et c'est très pénible. Nous ne les voyons jamais insérer les S entièrement. Bon achat !
