The Bowless/Combo Top from Smittybilt is the most adaptable Jeep top. When hitting the trail hard on a sunny day and clouds roll in you can quickly convert your Smittybilt Bowless/Combo Top from an extended top to a weather protected full top. Convinience is factored in due to internal storage of the removable side curtains. This top requires the use of the factory door surrounds and tailgate bar, as well as a header windshield channel (sold separately.)
Cheap design. No poles on it so you have to completely remove it and take the bows out to go topless. Instructions look like they were made in 5th grade computer class. All pictures are black and white and super zoomed in so you have no idea what it’s referencing. Traded it in for a bestop NX Glide. Buy once, cry once!
Service is excellent. The top itself is very hard to install I have 8 raw knuckles after the first ripped.
This is a great top. It went on fairly easily, just like it was supposed to. It looks good and is pretty quiet on the highway. Make sure to put it on in the sun when it's warm out, it would not stretch enough to get the rear window installed inside my garage. Once I moved it into the sun, it zipped right up.
Not convenient at all to put on or take off. Very time consuming. Great top of you don't plan on taking it back off. The instructions were about worthless.
The instructions are terrible, once you actually get the top on, it's super nice but getting it to fit properly was all kinds of trouble. I had to take it off, put it back on again before I actually found it it needs to sit in the sun for multiple hours before it will stretch to fit.
Good looking top with nice, thick materials. Way too many straps , Velcro, and zippers. Not a good choice if you like to remove windows and/or top with regularity. I returned mine due to the complexity of taking it on and off.
I tried to get the header matched up or flush with the rubber seal on my windshield and could not do it so I took it to a jeep shop and the professional installer had the same problem with the header not matching up with the windshield so now my top is not completely flush with windshield and over $800 dollars was wasted I feel on this top as well as the money I paid the professional installer, the quality of the material of the top is good but I will not recommend this top to anyone.
I like the top, it all didn’t quite fit, meaning rear window zippers were extremely snug, would not move until after a few days of sunshine allowed it to stretch a little. But I am wondering why water pools up on the top.
Q: Just bought this top for our daughter’s 2007 wrangler- Please help- we cannot get it to work- how does it attach over the doors and why does the back look lopsided. The instructions that come with the top are useless. Answer this question
A: @JosephW Did you buy another one? If so, which one?

A: Return it. Ultimately that’s what I had to do.

Q: WHAT DOES IT MEAN BY FACTORY DOOR SURROUNDS? I JUST HAVE THE FACTORY DOORS. ALSO DOES THIS FOLD ALL THE WAY BACK? JUST WANT SOMETHING THAT WILL FOLD BACK THEN BACK UP EASILY IF WE GET CAUGHT IN RAIN. Answer this question
A: I believe the “factory door surrounds” is referring to the grooves on the door frame where the top “clips” in. As far as being easy to fold back, it really is not. The back side windows are separate pieces with structured corners, so you would have to keep them in the vehicle with you since they don’t roll of fold into he top.

A: The factory door surrounds are included if your Jeep came with a soft top. It is what the top fits into above the door openings. Yes this will fold all the way down.

Q: Does this kit come with the header bar, door surrounds and tailgate bar? Answer this question
A: Yes it comes with everything. When I ordered mine, the salesman said that this is the one that I need, it would be easier for me to take down and put back up by myself. WRONG. This top does not fit my jeep. I have contacted everyone in order to return it but to this day have not heard from Smittybilt or 4 Wheel Parts.
