Just finished up with my Bestop Trektop install. Wow. That's a lot of work. All told, including finishing up my hoist and getting the hard top off, I'd say I put in a solid eight hours today. If I'd had a helper, I probably could have cut a ton of time off, but I have COVID, so I was all by my onesies.
I ended up with a few issues, and I'll have to wait until Monday to talk to them.
1 - There's a brass insert in the rear lower bracket. It likely wasn't correctly pressed in at the factory, so it gets to a certain point of tightness, then just spins. Thus, there's a slight gap between the lower window bracket and the rear lower bracket. I'm probably totally botching the names for these brackets, but whatever. I'm tired.
2 - The passenger side window tie down strap is too short. Even without the front and bottom welting pulled out of the j-channel, there's no way to get that button on. The driver's side is fine, and it's not something where I need the fabric to relax or stretch.
3 - The rear window is too tight. Perhaps there's a manufacturing flaw, and the passenger side window is too small, but there's no way I can get that rear window welting into the j-channel. Maybe some sun will help it relax, but damn.
Anyone else experience these issues?
