No more standing on the side pushing the top back!

I love it! It is so much easier to open and close now all in the comfort of the driver seat :)

Expensive and well worth it.

Great product! Fairly easy and quick install, much more convenient and faster to open than the freedom panels. Worth the cost!

novice mechanic

Was supposed to be a 30 minute job Ha! But I did it!! 1 hour and 30 minutes later! I was sunning!! I'd give it 3 of 5 screwdrivers:) Very easy to use! Has not leaked at all, not even in the drive-thru carwash. Beats taking those heavy tops off and praying for no rain in the middle of my trip! No flapping noise are anything when driving. The customer service was 2nd to none when I went to the store to retrieve my order. Has a great warranty, about the same cost for the service department to put the top on, I opted to follow Bestop YouTube instructions, very easy to follow along, and sprung for the warranty! Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase! My Jeep looks great with the Bestop Sunrider!

Love this top!

Easy to install and even easier to use! Love this as an alternative to the front Freedom panels on my Gladiator.

Going topless made easy...

Easy to install and use. Took less than 15 minutes to get it unboxed and installed. Almost as easy to open as pushing a button for a car's sunroof.

Time and Space Saver

Opens in 2 seconds, Twill version is quiet, waterproof through the Car wash, no futzing with storing the Freedom Panels, opens and closes quickly between thunderstorms!

Sunrider for hardtop Gladiator.

The Sunrider works like a charm, and looks great too. I was able to install it by myself, but having someone to help is the best way to install. The hardest part for me was getting the Z clips into the side rails. Other than that it was pretty simple to install.

Too expensive, but I love the one handed operation

Pretty easy to install. Just need a better description/ pic of which side the cable goes in

Extremely water proof

During recent rain storms, it pooled water but it didn’t leak through. Water proof!

Bought it at the Frisco, TX location, very happy!

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.

Get One for Your Jeep!

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.

Sunrider from BesTop is the best mod ever!

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 install

Easy to install. Love it so far. Simple to unlatch and flip back. More noise than freedom panels, but manageable.

Bestop Sunrider

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.

Loud in high wind

It is perfect for those that want the convince of opening and closing the top but currently I’m living in Colorado and the winds have been high recently the wind noise is pretty loud and sometimes makes loud flapping noise but other than that it is an excellent product and will be great for when I’m back in Texas able to open the top every drive
