    4.0 So much better than stock!

    The stock header is actually all plastic. The one on my jeep did not sit flush with the windshield so I had tons of wind noise and would have leaks during heavy rainstorms. This part is a plastic outter with metal insert. Its great! I would have rated it 5 stars if 4wd could have shipped it without it getting broken. Unfortunately, they do not include packing material so the tabs arrived broken twice. They finally got it right the 3rd time, now I have 2 extras in the garage waiting on ups to pick up (I doubt they will). As for installation, that was a fight. My top is in great shape so it was still on the jeep. We discovered that it was easier to unhook some of the top frame work than trying to install the header while fully attached to the jeep. It came with a few pieces of foam padding but no instructions as to where they were supposed to go. We discovered the more irregular shaped pieces went on top of the original padding near the windshield. We still have two skinny rectangular pieces that never found a home. All in all this part is great. It really improved my comfort when driving and tightened up my soft top. So glad we made this repair instead of buying a new top.

    4.0 Catalog ad is misleading

    This part is intended to replace the OEM header on a factory soft top, it will not work with any of the Bikini or Safari tops sold by 4WheelParts.com. The ad is very misleading. I had to return this part as it wasn't wasn't what I wanted. On the plus side, the guys at 4 Wheel Parts are excellent to work with and the return was very easy!

    Question & Answers

    10 Answered questions

    Q: Would this header installed on my used Trektop NX close the 1/2" gap between the windshield frame metal and top? Is there a difference between the Bestop and Mopar header that would close the gap and if so can the Mopar header work on the Trektop NX? Answer this question

    A: You can use the Bestop 55013 for the Trektop, can NOT use the factory mopar header.
