The Sunrider for Hardtop is the industry's first all-purpose, all-weather, year-round replacement for bulky freedom panels. It fits the NEW JL Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited with a factory hardtop. Also fits the new Gladiator JT Jeep truck! The unique folding design lets you flip the panel back for an open-sky. Make your Jeep Wrangler a convertible today!
I purchased this as a gift for Fathers Day for my husband. We installed it together and have enjoyed it every day since!
I've had this on my todo list for a couple years. It wasn't until I moved to TX that i realized I waited to long. LOL Took under an hour to install, beautifully engineered, very smooth operation, very high quality. The "z" cable ends were replaced with wire connector style attachments, but easy enough to figure out and complete. Highly recommended.
This is a great top for my Gladiator. I was told the twill was the way to go, and I am very happy with it. It was very easy to install after the first step, which took a few extra minutes, but once that is done, you never have to do it again. It was connecting the base to the top. It fits perfectly and I haven't had a leak. It is SO easy to open and close. Way better than having to take the panels off each time and put them somewhere. I should have bought one earlier.
Delivered when promised. Simple install. Excellent quality. Great Looks!
I was not sure if the purchase would be worth it for our JL but now I am thinking of getting one for our JK too. Simple to install except for one little wire took me longer than expected. Still simple once you figure it out.
The z-clips take some patience, but otherwise fairly easy install by one person. This is the second Sunrider we’ve purchased and installed on our own. We love it on our new Gladiator Mojave.
Easy to install. Love it so far. Simple to unlatch and flip back. More noise than freedom panels, but manageable.
This made all the difference to the ease of popping the top in seconds without have to store bulky panels. Surprisingly quiet and water tight.
Q: Will this top fit on a 2010 Jeep JK? Answer this question
A: The Sunrider for Hardtop for the JK/JKU, part number 52453, fits 2007-2018.
Answered by Crystal@Bestop on 07/28/2023
A: Bestop makes a different one for the JK and the JL. I had a 2015 JK which I put a sunrider on it worked fine. I now have a 2022 JL that I use a sunrider on the 2015 wouldn’t fit on the 2022. It’s a great top I take it off for the winter.

Q: Can I remove the hard top with this installed? Answer this question
A: I would think not since the soft top sits on top of the hard top and is bolted to the hard top and roll cage
Answered by Scott from Okatie SC on 06/24/2021
A: You would have to remove the front soft top to remove the hardtop.
Answered by Lance from Dallas, Ga. on 06/23/2021
A: Yes but this would also need to be removed as well. This takes the place of the freedom panels.

Q: What is the different in color between the black twill and the black diamond? Answer this question
A: They are pretty much the same color. The Twill is a heavier material.
Answered by Rick31 from Orange county, CA on 05/17/2021
A: Black Twill is more like a canvas, usually you will see this type of material on Higher End vehicles, or European vehicles with soft tops, like Mercedes, BMW and Porsche. Black diamond feels like a denim material. It is what the factory soft tops are made of.
