The Sailcloth Replace-a-tops takes the award-winning formula of Replace-a-top, and adds in heavier sailcloth fabric. Sailcloth tops are the quietest soft tops on the market. The secret to this Jeep soft top lies in the unique multi-ply Sailcloth fabric. Each ply plays a different role, but together they reflect road sounds, absorb wind noise, and prevent buffeting to create a silencing effect that absolutely must be heard to be believed.
The Bestop Replace-a-top is the only replacement top featuring the patented Belt Rail attachment system and is designed to fit right over the factory hardware for easy installation and returns to its original shape and tautness. The Replace-a-top also features factory-spec velcro, thread, webbing, and door seals. Plus oversized zippers, DOT approved windows, and a rear attachment system that lets you open your tailgate without having to open your rear window. The Replace-a-top consists of fabric only and fit only factory-original hardware.
My first replacement top was a cheaper one and I got what I paid for. The top was loud and the zippers sucked. The top also faded fairly quickly. This new Best Top was more than double the price but what a difference. It is thicker, really quiet and makes me feel like my jeep is brand new again. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
I bought this top to replace my factory top on my 2012 Wrangler, which was old and falling apart. The Bestop soft top is of very good quality from what I can tell so far. The install was not too bad, and the instructions were fairly straightforward. It took me around 2 hours to get the old top removed and the new one installed, with a couple of brief rain showers happening after the old top was removed. The top fits very well and seems quieter than my original Mopar top when I am at highway speeds. Overall, I highly recommend this particular soft top to replace a factory top.
Looks outstanding, though it required all the strength I could muster to stretch it onto my TJ.
Top installed easily on my 2011 Wrangler four-door. Everything seemed to fit well and quality seems equal to factory top. So far so good! It did end up taking about 4 weeks to get. I assume this had to do with some shipping delays or manufacturing delays that had to do with covid.
Love this top! Replaced our oem top with this. Nice upgrade. Very quiet. Might even be less road noise than our hard top. I would recommend this top to anyone looking for an upgrade to their factory top, or just wanting to replace a worn out factory top. We couldn't be happier with our purchase.
Gave my old Jeep a updated look. My 1999 Jeep was before tinted soft top windows. It is so quiet but I have not put her on the highway yet. The only reason it did not get five stars was it was work putting that cloth on my old frame. My girl looks Awesome!
Q: My 1988 wrangler has full metal doors, will this top work? Answer this question
A: No, the Sailcloth Replace-A-Top for the YJ will only work with the factory half steel doors and the square shaped soft upper door window.
