## Description

Stens replacement parts have become a favorite among lawn and landscape professionals thanks to exceptional performance.

Review: Great Top - I was so intimidated after reading other reviews, I had a hard time committing to getting this done. As a petite (aka weak) female, I was concerned about having to abandon the project midway through until someone could come bail me out. Turns out, these fears were completely unfounded. It was very straightforward and easy to do. I laid the pieces in the hot sun as recommended; this was an important step. I also studied my old softtop and where and how it was connected to the frame. This was pretty important, as was understanding to start out with the top laid out upside down inside the Jeep. That part isn't immediately intuitive. I was concerned about the header screws, but they released fine. I did not have all of them as it turned out, but completed the job anyway, using some similar screws I found in a jar in the basement (see, sometimes it's good to hoard). The one problem I did run into was that the softtop's holes for receiving the header screws were not well-aligned with those on my header bar, and I had to reinstall them when I found I was totally misaligned by the time I got to the last screw. I was able to make it work by inserting each screw into the far righthand edge of each hole, and I still barely got the last rightmost screw installed. It's worth visually checking this out in advance. That part was the most time-consuming, and the rest of the install went quite easily. I did find the driver's side substantially looser than the passenger side, but I think things will shift around and settle over time. There were tiny tolerance problems, such as the lower hard corner of the driver's side window did not fit perfectly into the slot, and contacted the door during opening and closing. This seems to have rectified itself over time though (particularly after I tugged and coaxed it multiple times). The first time I lowered the new top, I had help so it went quite smoothly. I raised it again alone, and had to tug and adjust here and there, but no real problems. Overall, it's a fine fit, and the price was great. The black top and darkened windows are very slick, and totally updates an older Jeep. However, from the inside looking out, I found the dark windows a bit too dark, although I will probably get used to that. It's worth mentioning that my old top had split in the upper passenger side corner along the windshield, and the new top seems very, very tight on that same corner. I'm a little worried about how that will age. I will likely sell the door skins as others have, and probably sell them with my soft doors as I don't ever plan on using them. My watertightness test arrived in the form of Hurricane Arthur, which slammed 60 mph winds and buckets of rain vertically from all sides for about 12 hours. I'm happy to report there were no leaks, and the top held well. Good purchase.
Review: Incredible upgrade compared to factory OEM. Do NOT buy the expensive tops by those other guys. Cant be any better than this one! - The Shipping was fast and packaging was great! ---SAILCLOTH VS DIAMOND--- I was curious the main difference between Sailcloth and Diamond, but was unable to find any images to visibly show the difference. ----> I decided to go with the black diamond and W O W, it looks incredible!! Its rich in color with a minimal texture and the sheen is perfect to ensure an easy clean without giving the black a dull appearance. ---INSTALL--- The install was very easy! ---->I installed the new top during the winter. Do not worry about finding a warm/dry place to park the Jeep so the material doesn't retract or get wet while installing. Simply loosen/remove the 4(ea) star screws that hold the roof hardware bars in place (located just aft of the front seats on the roll bars) and bring the whole set up inside. Now you can take your time and install the new top in the comfort of your warm/dry home. Once the new top is installed on the hardware frame, take it out and install it on the Jeep. install the 4(ea) screws you removed earlier and then begin with the latches up front (behind the visors) first and work your way back. The new top is nice and tight. ---ROAD TEST--- Road test was great. ---->I have an aftermarket radio with Bluetooth/mic. Phone calls at 60 mph were amazingly clear. This was confirmed by my wife. She use to complain about phone calls with the old top. Success!! ----> Vibrations and noise were pleasantly reduced. ----> A MUST Buy -- The front door skins have strong durable metal zipper pulls and they simple rattle against one another while driving. This is a simple fix with a corded zipper pull which you can find many a options right here on desertcart. You will not regret this Add-on. ---TINT--- The tint on the 3 rear windows are professionally tinted black. There is NO PURPLE hue at all. ---REAR WINDOW--- The rear window has a much improved zipper compared to the OEM rear window. Also, my OEM top did not come the rear window roll-up straps to hold it in place without removing the window. This top has the straps installed and I am looking forward to this option!! This simple, yet genius addition allows you to have the rear window open but partially installed and readily available in case it starts to rain and you need to button the ole' girl up real quick.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have an 02 Tj X with a factory hard top. Will i need a windshield channel to install this? What about the door surrounds and/or a tailgate bar?**
A: If you owned a soft top previously and this top is replacing the old worn out top, then you can switch everything over to the new top.  If you never had a top prior to this one, then you will need to purchase everything separately.  Some other tops include them, the windshield channel and tail gate bar, but you will have to purchase the door surrounds separately anyways.  Bestop 55012-01 Black Door Surround Kit for 97-06 Wrangler TJ on Amazon for $157.00.  Bestop 52600-01 Tailgate Bar Kit for 97-06 Wrangler TJ for $51 and the Bestop 55014-01 Black Windshield Channel for TJ Factory Style for $67.  I hope this helps.

**Q: For those of you still using this top, how long have you had it, and are you still satisfied with it?**
A: Have had the top on since March 2015 and is holding up really well. No tears, seams all still fine, did have one zipper helper break but the zipper is still OK.  Very satisfied with the top.

**Q: Can this replace my hard top?**
A: No. You need the soft top hardware as well. Also keep in mind you should use the hard top in the winter if you live in a place where you get winters.

**Q: Will this fit 2003 wrangler sport? (selection process says yes, but "check fit" heading on amazon page says will not fit...?**
A: Yes, it will fit 2003 Sport as long as you have a factory hardware already installed.Thank youJack Mikol Automotive

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Top for a Great Price
*by T***1 on May 4, 2014*

I was a little leery of a top under 300 bucks but the reviews of this product convinced me that it was worth a shot; I'm glad I listened to the reviews. The top arrived nicely packaged and brand new as promised. I noticed that the windows and top fabric are a little thinner than the stock top I was replacing but I was very happy with the quality of material and craftmanship for the price. It took me about an hour to install and it fit great. My two tips for anyone installing this top are: 1. Lay it out in the sun for an hour before trying to install, it will make your life a lot easier. 2. If your old top has been on the Jeep for a long time have some replacement screws handy to attach the fabric to the windsheild part of the frame. My top had been installed for such long time that the screw heads were unbeliveably rusty and I couldn't remove them with a screwdriver. I had to remove them with pliers and replace them with new screws. The top does fit snug, but that's a good thing, like I said before, letting it sit in the sun and warm up above 72 degrees will expand it enough to allow everything to fit easily. Once it's installed it will stretch with time I'm sure as well. Since I have hard doors, I put the half door uppers on Craigslist and sold them in one day for 65 bucks. With that said the top only ended up costing me about $185.00, you can't beat that price for this top!
