Reviews: Bestop Standard Targa Bikini Tops

I live on the beach & it is GREAT for everyday driving. I have a hard & soft top & am really enjoying my bikini top!

I have read the previous review of this product and am very surprised. The instructions were very clear. The back screw is the right mounting location for the middle two straps. I have had this on for three days in the summer sun and i have been able to pull it a little tighter every day. The straps show no signs of weakness under this stress. I have not had it at highway speeds but at about 45 mph it is quiet and unflappable.

I love this top! The zippers on the rear windows of the soft top that came with my Jeep ended up tearing off so I decided to go with this bikini top to replace it. It was easy to install for the most part even though I didnt have the opportunity to let it sit out in the sun. It doesnt flap nearly as much as what people have told me and fits nice and snug against the roll bar. It hasnt rained since I put it on so Im not sure about the water pooling issues but I know that can be remedied by attaching a bow that goes from the left roll bar to the right. The only downside is there is a lot of wind noise when driving at highway speeds, but its not unbearable and I kind of expected it so I wouldnt really call it a complaint.

Had no issues at all putting this on by myself, very easy to follow instructions for the novice. Very happy with this product! High quality at a great price!

I got 2 full summers of use out of this top. Left it on my daily driver TJ semi- permanently in various combinations with a windjammer and a tonneau, with and without doors. The combo was a head turner and got lots of looks. Very functional both on and off road. Intermittent leaks at front left and right corner during heavy downpours. 2 summers of hot Texas sun finally killed 3 of the 5 straps which tore free while tightening. I am buying another one tonight! 06 TJ Sport

the top looks great but is really hard to get on. did not want to go into channel on windshield. The straps could be a little longer. When use with door surrounds instruction do not tell you what to do with roll bar straps. I really like it and once i take it off and put it back on a couple of times it will get easier.

Very easy to install and fits great, Love the Bikini Top.

What a great product. Purchased the dust cover and windjammer also and it all fits perfectly. Added quite a custom look to my wrangler.

I bought this even after reading the previous reviews because the picture showed it installed WITH the door surrounds. I also bought the wraparound windjammer so taking off the surrounds was not an option. To my relief, I was able to install this top with only a few minor tweaks. I removed the sunrider top clamps off of the door surrounds to give me access (4 screws) and then attached the Velcro side flaps AFTER the top was in place. So far it all fits, time will tell if it stays in place.

It's a great product for the most part. When tightening the straps, one tore off and I didn't really pull too hard. Installing it is a bit tough since it's new material, stretches much better if you let it sit in the sun all day. But overall it's a good cheap way to block the sun and stay dry. And it looks good!

Got this top because I didn't want to keep taking off and putting on the Hard top. Planned to just leave this on for the entire summer. The top is water proof and holds up well the only issue for me is that water pools and because the doors don't make a seal with the roll cage, which is where the top is attached, the water drips right off onto the seats. If your driving in the rain usually the speed is enough to keep the water from pooling but in the mornings after a good rain its a pain in the butt to get off.

This is a nice bikini top for my 97 wrangler. The only issue I have is the middle staps over the back roll bar do not cinch up tonight enough. May be operator error, but I can't figure it out. All other straps work properly.

Just received and installed it. Was a little above room temperature outside when I attempted to install it. Had a bit of trouble getting the top to stay in the header channel. Once I was able to get it to stay it was impossible to stretch the top into the factory door surrounds so I needed to take them off and use the velcro closures around the side bars instead. I will try again with when it is a little warmer outside after the top has been sitting in the sun for a few hours and update this review. Once installed the top looks great and really cuts down on the wind while driving on the highway with the doors installed. Looking forward to driving with the doors off and the bikini installed!

I could not resist completing this, especially because they think this is a "bra". Well, the bikini top for my Jeep Wrangler fits great and looks great - even slimming! Works great with the Duster so that I don't need the soft top any longer.

Easy to install. Careful with the velcro at the door surrounds (will tear easily). Would have rated a 5 if I didn't tear the strap. Otherwise fits good and doesn't flap/flop around. Keeps the heat at bay and sun from frying my head on a long day of driving and wheel'n.

Bought my first Best Top Bikini in May of 2000 and it has lasted 12 years. This one appears to be the same quality.

I love the look of it and it assisted along with the other products I purchased to personalize my 2010 Jeep Wrangler. It fits really good on the windshield header and with the straps around my sound bar in the back, but it needs to be a couple of inches wider on both sides to assist in fitting above the door frame and to attach around the side sport bars above the door.

I have full metal doors on an 06 Wrangler. The bikini top fit nicely, but does require a header channel. It has a neat feature that allows the bikini top to be secured to the sides by either using the door surround channels (actually locks into the side) or has a velcro flap that can roll around the roll bars to secure. With the doors closed and windows up, it makes it completely secure in the drivers compartment. If you do get caught in a rainstorm and keep moving, no rain will get inside the jeep, even though the top only covers the front section. The rain will blow past the back seat and keep it dry. When you stop...the back will get wet.
