Bestop Trektop Pro Soft Top Installation Guide

If you haven't experienced the Bestop Trektop Pro, you're missing out. It's the most versatile top available for JK Wranglers. Imagine not having to swap between a hard top and a soft top with the seasons— the Trektop Pro allows you to enjoy the benefits of both. Ready to transform your Jeep? Here’s how to get started.

Installation Overview

Estimated Installation Time: Approximately 4 hours
Skill Level: Moderate (Level 3/4)
Tools Required:

• Phillips screwdriver
• Utility knife
• Ratchet with 13mm socket
• Open end wrench
• Allen wrench
• Safety glasses

Getting Started: Preparation Steps

1. Watch the Installation Video: Begin by watching the Bestop installation video to familiarize yourself with the process and parts.
2. Verify Parts: Open your Bestop package and verify all parts against the included list. Missing something? It’s easier to address now than mid-installation.
3. Gather Your Tools: Make sure you have all the necessary tools handy. Borrow any you don’t own—this isn’t a job for makeshift solutions!

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

1. Frame Assembly: Start by attaching various brackets and parts to construct the frame. This top uses existing holes and notches on your Jeep, so there’s no need for drilling. All parts should align and bolt on directly.

2. Door Surrounds: Install the included door surrounds to ensure a tight seal with your existing doors. New rubber seals are provided to enhance fit and finish.

3. Sunrider Feature and Rear Window: Install the Sunrider feature, allowing you to open the front of the top easily. Attach the rear window using the halo support, which allows it to flip open for added ventilation.

4. Side and Rear Windows: The side windows are designed to be removed and reattached without tools, offering flexibility and ease. Have a friend help you with the tempered glass rear window to avoid accidents.

5. Top Arches and Bows: Install the support arches and bows to maintain the top's shape and integrity over time.

6. Final Touches: Attach the twill fabric to the back half of the Jeep using straps and retainers, then proceed to secure the Sunrider portion at the front.

Final Adjustments and Review

After securing all parts and panels, step back and make any necessary adjustments. Once everything is set, you can admire your work and the enhanced functionality and appearance of your Jeep.

Conclusion

The Bestop Trektop Pro not only adds versatility to your Jeep but also enhances its functionality with features like the Sunrider and easily removable windows. While the installation is moderately challenging, the result is a durable and stylish upgrade that is sure to turn heads. Be prepared to assist your friends with their installations—they’ll want a Trektop Pro too after seeing yours!
