Picked up a factory hard top and frame for an 04. I have door surrounds for Bestop Nextop but wanting to know if these will work or if I need to find a set of factory surrounds. Thanks in advance.
 
I think you want to go factory , they are out there . ..my NX equipped Jeep isn't here right now , but I'm pretty sure they vary ...may be wrong .

Don't damage that factory top..good stuff . $1500 all new.
 
I think it can work. NX top has a sun rider feature right? Where as a factory frame doesn’t. So the Nx door surrounds have a pivot point for the sun rider feature. I think it also has a mount for a bar that goes across the door surrounds. So being that you have a factory frame you won’t use the mount for the bar or the pivot point on the door surrounds you have. You’ll just forget about them and mount your soft top.

I forgot about the pivot points on the nx surrounds. Will get a set of OEM surrounds. Thanks for the replies.
 
Success! Found a set of OEM surrounds and all is good. I think the Bestop would have worked but I would want to protect the mounting tabs to keep from rubbing on OEM top. Thanks for the replies.

@Snipman old and dead thread. Couldn't figure out how to PM. Might not have that privilege yet.

If you still have the bestop surrounds I would love to buy them off you.
