great full length bikini top
Good quality top, and easy to install. It looks great and was exactly what I was looking for. It took me probably no more than ten minutes to install and get it all tightened down.

Jeep top
The Bikini top fit perfect. We took it out of the box and installed it. Was no need to put in the sun ahead of time which I had read as a most do. We love it.

Does not fit my 99 TJ
The plastic part that slides into the channel is to small. Front of top flies off when driving.

Does what it is supposed to.
You have to have this top warm (direct sunlight or an 80 degree garage) to get it flexible enough to install. The fabric is decent heavy quality and the fitment is good. Works best as a sun blocker, cuz everyone knows that when it rains hard, you ARE gonna get a lapful of water at every stop and every turn.

Very nice top for the price
Do not try to put this on right out of the box. Make sure you let it sit in the sun for about 30-45 minutes to soften up the plastic strip that slides into the windshield channel. Otherwise, this top installs in less than 10 minutes. The instructions are about useless, so just watch the install instructions on YouTube. I find watching the videos a little easier to follow anyways. The quality seems pretty decent, but time will tell as it sees more time in the sun and such.

Bestop Safari Bikini Top
I bought this to replace my Rampage top. The straps ripped on that one after sitting in my garage for 6 months and only being a year old. But this one seems more solid, the nylon is quality and the top itself is very nice. Got rained on and it didn't leak through. Attached to my windshield channel in minutes. I had to remove the padding on my roll bars to install but I've never hit my head on em anyway lol.

Best top for 2000 wrangler
I like it a lot. The only thing I wish is the Velcro that wrap around the burg bars on the sides by doors where just alittle bigger

Not what I hoping for, but good product
Ok so I was looking for a top that would keep my seats dry when it rains. The description clearly states " Protect the jeep’s interior and front and back seats from elements using the Bestop Safari Style Bikini Top. It offers complete front-to-back coverage to your jeep. With premium, mildew-resistant Haartz fabric construction, it lasts long." Last time I checked water is an element... Don't get me wrong I didn't expect perfection, or for it to stop all the rain, but I also didn't expect this top to direct all of the water directly onto the seats. It fits in a manner that allows for the water to run off the top and directly onto the back seat, and when turning it will drip directly onto the front seats. It wasn't the easiest to install either. You will need a friend, and some patience. The front of the top just does not secure to the windshield channel in a manner that would allow a one person install. It looks pretty good once on, but did not perform to my needs.
5 Top Rated Questions
Q: I have a 99 TJ hard top. Do I have to drill a windshield bracket on to fasten this to? If I do, do I have to remove it at end of the season to be able to put hard top back on? The no drill one. How does it fasten? Is there flapping noise?
A: You do not have to drill a windshield bracket for the bikini top if you use the Bestop No-Drill Windshield Channel (J16163). It will fasten with J-Hook brackets mounted to the windshield retainer. The Windshield Channel will have to be removed to reinstall the hard top. Here is the link to the Windshield Channel: https://www.extremeterrain.com/bestop-windshield-channel-tj-5123801.html.
Q: What colors are available?
A: The Bestop Safari Bikini Top only comes in a Black Denim for the 97-02 year TJs.
