I recently purchased a Bestop Black Diamond Trektop NX to replace the deteriorating top that was on the Jeep when I bought it (the rear window zipper seams were starting to unstitch and the zipper itself finally gave way).
The Bestop quality and fit are excellent and have gotten better as the weather has warmed. (I installed it on a day it was in the mid-60s.)
I think the sunroof feature is terrific. The front half of the top unlatches and folds back giving you almost instant top-off experience.
It is QUIET. We can now converse at highway speeds where before we had to shout.
I had an initial problem with leaks at the tailgate. I contacted Customer Service and their first inclination was that the tailgate bar might be trimmed wrong. They sent a replacement immediately (which I did not need because the original was correct.)
Subsequently, Nick at Bestop and I concluded that the rear window just needed to break in and relax a little to make full contact with the top of the tailgate, but before that Bestop offered to send a new rear window at no charge! I turned down that offer because the combination of window relaxation and some supplemental door trim along the top of the tailgate has eliminated leaks there. The cargo area stays dry as a bone in heavy rain. The point is, their customer service was phenomenal.
Bestop already enjoys a good reputation here. They deserve it. Spend the extra when you're replacing your soft top. In this case, you absolutely get what you pay for.
