Hello all. Tried posting this in another TJ group but no one seems to have any suggestions or an answer. Neither does Bestop.
I have a 2000 TJ that has had a Bestop Supertop soft top on it for around ten years and I love it. Bought a new Bestop Supertop soft top recently and it collapses onto me as I drive at highway speeds (45+ mph) when in sunrider mode. Seems to stay in place fine driving local roads at 30-40 mph. As soon as I hit the highway and increase speed it starts inverting. Has to be something with the way the wind is catching it. The middle sags big time into the cabin when riding with sunrider mode. It’s like trying to invert itself or turn inside out. Very unsafe. Anyone else experience this and figure out how to fix it? Bestop has not been able to help. They sent me two Velcro straps that are for a JK but wasted their time doing so. Didn’t work at all. Pics attached are what happens after driving on a highway. I keep having to tuck it back up or pull over and fix it, but as soon as I hit 45+ mph again it starts happening all over again.
Suggestions?
