Bestop Trektop Leaks in Carwash

[justinp72]

I recently installed the Bestop Trektop on my 4door WT… Besides, being extremely irritated that it arrived with the Bestop tramp stamp, I am also having an issue with leaking in the car wash. Anybody else experiencing this? It comes in underneath the flap in the rear and drips on the roll bar down underneath the cargo mat. The top also seems to be getting beat up easily. I’m not a fan of the factory soft top at all, but I had better expectations with the Bestop than I’m experiencing. Customer Service has also been less than pleasant telling me that the tramp stamp cannot be removed, otherwise I will void my warranty. I’ve also had several screws in the frame come loose. I’ve only had it installed a few months. I have not yet addressed the leaking issue with BT, but I’m not expecting them to do anything about it.

Is it kosher to take a soft top through an automatic car wash? I never have and probably never will.

I run my OEM soft top through a touchless wash all the time. No issues, no leaks.

Same here.

Dunno about the car wash, but we had a couple absolutely torrential downpours last week and mine didn't leak. I hear you about their Support -- it took too many messages to get a missing bolt sent out ("send me a picture of the problem"....so I should send a pic of an empty bag?) and about 4 different requests for my address. But now that it's on I really like both the look and the quality.

A. My factory softtop doesn't leak
B. That said, maybe try a different one
C. Be proud of your bestop! (once it's working right.)

I hand wash only.
