Bestop Sunrider - reviews / feedback?

[DemonGT]

Who has the Bestop sunrider? Was looking for reviews on what people think of it from first hand use.

What's the difference between "black diamond" and "premium black twill"?

I've had one for almost a year now. It's one of the best things I've done to the Bronco. Open and close on a whim without having to get out of your seat.

black diamond = vinyl. Twill = well, twill. Spend the extra Benji for the twill.

I’ve had the sunrider on my 2dr WT for nearly a year and it’s probably my favorite accessory.
Went with the black diamond version because it looks better with the grayish color of the MIC top.
My understanding is the twill might be a better quality material from a longevity standpoint

I have one, it’s nice but it rattles like crazy over 45mph.

Love mine. No rattling issues for me. I have the twill one. The only noise I notice is every once in a while hear a flapping from the passenger side of the top. Its coming from where the damn Bestop tag is located. I assume it must vibrate under the correct circumstances and make that noise. As said before its super convenient to open and close it. Its also pretty quick to install. took me under 20 minutes once the box was opened. Its also super easy to swap back to the panels if you so desire.

I had mine already waiting for the day I brought my Bronco home. I had one on my JK for 5 years. No leaks and so much easier than the panels. In my Jeep my tires made more noise than the top did. I also have the twill.

Have had ours for > year. Agreed - it is the best option we've added to our Bronco. Use it all the time and it easy. Twill is the way to go for looks and fit. No noise issues, once the latches loosened up, easy to use. *Just remember to close it before entering/exiting your garage!!

how easy is it to remove if you want to go completely topless?

I noticed the same and cut the tag off.

Damn that's convenient. It's as easy as an old Miata.

It really is very similar....So easy...

Its held to the bronco by 4 bolts. And then to the rear top in the center with an included bracket. That is 4 bolts. So if you wanted to take the rear fully off its just 6 bolts. You can leave the bracket attached to the Rear hard top. Really not much longer than removing the panels.

I'm considering this. I really want an OEM soft top, but I have none of the hardware to install just the fabric. I don't like trektops.

I can't believe there is no OEM style soft top option yet.
