Yes, but in Oz they issue a stay at home order for a tiny number of cases. Not saying that is a bad thing, deaths under 1000 IIRC, just that being in lock down does not mean a lot of cases.
Is that about right Vaginasandwich?

Called this morning, they asked for pictures... called back this afternoon and I am waiting for a call back (I was number 52 in que)
Just got off the phone with Bestop. This company is the model of customer service. They are sending me a replacement top and do not need me to return the I'll fitting one.

Great result, hats off to them. Did they give any view on what the issue may have been?
Nope just said it's not the worst he's ever seen but it's pretty bad. What my address so he can send me a new one.
Sell the AAFES one to someone who rolled their TJ. Should fit perfect! 
It actually means Smelly C U in NT (see you in the Northern Territory)
Cant get that name most places. My email is fishtaco and call centres are shocked but I have had it since before emails Anyway 100 and odd cases in NSW and 3 cases in WA (Perth) and Perth is now in hard lockdown.
One person in Australia in hospital and they were there before this latest spread.
All AU cases have been acquired from mixing domestic travellers in hotels with overseas positives in hotel quarantine and overseas airline staff.
If they were genuinely serious about this they could stop overseas flights especially from India and China! But they have not.
I get it you cant stop expats from returning back to Australia but they were allowing them out in the first instance then they started crying to come back and all sorts of human rights ! People who took their chances leaving Australia during Covid should suffer the consequences not just be repatriated to spread a new Delta variant.

That statement means they no longer have any quality control and all the good sailmakers have crossed the Rio Grande.
If they thought it was a fitting error or non genuine frame they would have suggested that first but seems they were quick to replace before possible negative product feedback!If Bestop is the best why do some not fit? the pattern must be the same?
Bestop soon to be made in China?
I wonder how the individual panels are cut. If they have a stack of several sheets of material and the pieces are die cut, the ones on top will end up slightly larger than the ones on the bottom. The top sheets would progressively roll over the lower sheets as the die presses down on the stack. Probably not much, but an 1/8" here, an 1/8" there, and pretty soon you could have some serious stack up in tolerances.That statement means they no longer have any quality control and all the good sailmakers have crossed the Rio Grande.

If they only cut 1 sheet of material at a time, never mind.

I agree, great for the OP, but raises a number of questions!That statement means they no longer have any quality control and all the good sailmakers have crossed the Rio Grande.

OP should just buy the adjustable side brackets and the bestop front overhead NX bow and sell the replacementSell the AAFES one to someone who rolled their TJ. Should fit perfect!

That's what the vaccines are for. Get them or get infected are the only choices with the new strains. As of July, my state is reinstating the mask bans that were in place before the China virus hit. Nobody can wear a mask in public or will be fined.
I have a d̶e̶f̶u̶n̶d̶ DEFEND the POLICE mask. I bet they won't ticket me for wearing it.

I just went down the Bestop twill road. Thing is tight as a drum - makes getting the spring-loaded pins for the sun roof into their brackets a real struggle when putting the top up. However, I drove 5 hours to Ocean City yesterday with the top up because it's just so hot here right now and the roof was solid and quiet - almost as quiet as my hardtop.

Interesting. I didn't know that the Twill version came with those inserts. I like it.
