It works doing it that way. The Bestop is a lot lighter and flexs a lot more than the OEM. I guess I sacrificed the regid construction for a better looking rear windows.
Yep. Exactly like mine. Love the Bestop.Not sag like the OP roof, hangs down a bit like this:
Twill
What you end up having to do is with it upright pull all the fabric towards the rear it won’t just fold like the OEMSo I have a 21 Badlands 2.7 4dr Sas and love it. Wasn't a huge fan with the appearence of the OEM softtop so purchased the Trektop by Bestop Love the looks of the fastback style and the rear windows. a week after it was installed by the Ford dealer it was warm enough to fold it back"North Carolina" btw and I was omg at the sagging in the back when folded back. Like 10 pictures sent to customer service and 2 totally nonsensical replies back. Trying to figure out is this just mine?
Just curious what you did with the OEM top. I’m thinking of doing the same (when I get my truck) and wanted to see if there’s any market for the original and price to ask.So I have a 21 Badlands 2.7 4dr Sas and love it.

For the 2 door (also 4 door?) you can only easily take off the front panels.
But then you have to put the panels somewhere, it's not as convenient. I can't wait to get the Bestop on my 2dr.
Honestly, I recommend getting a mesh Bimini top...it will give some sun protection (I am in San Antonio, TX where it feels lie you are sitting ON the sun when in direct sunlight during the summer months). Then the extra material will sit on it and not sag into your passengers (if any). But on another note, that does look like excessive sagging from compared to other posts I have seen. Look at Gear Shade...they have great mesh tops...printed or plain and in different colors if desired. Just an idea. I got the greyscale American Flag mesh top that fits under the soft top.So I have a 21 Badlands 2.7 4dr Sas and love it.

I spoke to them yesterday and they said what I expected;tuck it when you open it. Seems sloppy. You’d think Ford would have said something before reselling the Bestop twill too.
