I've posted a few times on there regarding a bimini/bikini top solution, it almost kept me from trading my JL for a Bronco. I basically go 6 months hard top, 6 months no top/bikini top in the southeast where in the summer it can rain any day of the week. It's kept in a garage and I work from home so that mitigates a lot of the issues, but I hate messing with a soft top. A bikini top that blocks at least some of the rain when I'm driving is needed, I honestly don't care about it getting wet when it's parked, that's what the drain plugs are for.
So, here's my review, keep in mind I've had TJ, JK, and JL bikini tops from Bestop, Mastertop, etc. The latest version of the JL was the best so far. This beats all of them, I'm not kidding. I really thought there was no remedy for the flapping that would occur with no middle roll bar. There's two reasons why it's working IMO - 1. The fabric is higher quality. 2. - The amount of connection points. 75, 80 MPH, I could hear the radio, no major flapping (no noise from the flapping really) and I could have actually tightened it down more. Same speed, windows up, I can actually hear myself talk, no way that happens in the Jeep, trust me, wife and I went 3.5 hours last summer and couldn't talk the entire time.
I set it up today, and to be honest, I f'ed it up to begin with, djp sent better instructions and helped me out. It definitely takes longer the first time, but I took it off this afternoon and I left most of the bungees with balls looped in their eyehole to quickly put back on. I left the screws and clips in place where I could. I'll put it on and off a lot in the next few weeks probably and can report back. So far.....it's an excellent product.
I would maybe think about some extra bungees and clips (he provided one clip) because I could see losing some. This was the 2 door version, but same concept for the 4. Anyone looking for a bikini top - send him a PM. I'll link some videos if I can edit them to be small enough. I'm not getting anything for this, just wanted to post in case someone is looking for the same thing I was, here's the link: broncocanvasbimini.com
