I should have read the reviews on this site before the purchase.

The flapping noise is unbearable at anything above 40mph. It looks like it is going to rip away from the windscreen as is folded back from the wind catching it.

Has anyone figured out a way to make this top work better? Happy to post pictures. But I have the straps as tight as possible where I feel they are going to rip off it is any tighter.

I don’t have it installed at the moment, but I do remember that the magnets held it tight.

My magnets didn't hold the top or prevent the front from flipping back. In fact one side of the magnets ripped through the fabric and I am exchanging it for another

I can’t help other than to say that yesterday I installed the Velcro for my JTop. After the mandatory 24 hours of waiting I’ll be installing the top and hoping it’s not flappy!

From videos, the JTop looks like it fits a lot tighter. I already have the soft top, and with the light bar, I do get some noise. I did not want to add to it lol. I watched many vids on what the available and it seems the JTop is the best one for less flap noise.

I switched from the Bronco bikini top to the JTop with the Velcro - huge upgrade. Would do it again. I have the bikini top off for now, and the velcro is visible - nobody notices it. This was a big hold up for some people - I would do it again. I have a custom sasquatch on top as well.

went with a canvas bimini from a forum member who created broncocanvasbimini-dot-com and couldn't be happier with it.
