Looks like you bought the hardware to go with it rather than just the new 'skin'. I think you said you were just running with a hard tp before, so that makes sense.
Yup, as has been said before the price of driving what is a niche vehicle over here. A lot of items that I have looked at are basically pounds for dollars by the time they are shipped and the duty / tax paid at the current exchange rate. So a $1,500 dollar top for you is more like $2,050 for us. But, that is still cheaper than buying it from a UK retailer selling Jeep products, if you buy one of those tops from them it is $3,200. Hence why the price shipped from the US does not look that bad from where we sit.good god agness, does the jeep come with it ?
Id cancel it if I were you and get one off eBay. Got to me in just over a week.
I ordered a replacement skin and other bits and pieces from Quadratec during the Presidents' Day discount window. My top is simply showing as being on backorder by the vendor, i.e. it seems not only do Quadratec have no stock, but neither do Bestop. Not a huge issue for me at the moment and Hailey (Quadratec rep that posts on here) helped me out with an issue with my order, so I am happy to wait. But if it really is the case that Bestop have no stock then that sounds like it will be a while before it arrives.
Looking forward to hearing how fitting the replacement skin goes, as that is the approach I am going with.So my deadline passed today and I emailed to cancel my order and refund my payment. My buddy Gabe wasn't too upset either way
Ordered one from Amazon, yes it was more expensive but it'll be here in a week. Lesson learned, if I order from Quadratec again I'll pull the plug at the first email about delays!

My bestop RAT arrived today and I got it fitted, it's very easy to do. Definitely doable on your own, but much easier with a second pair of hands! Looks DAMN good now!
I’m interested to hear how it goes shipping wise...speed of transit / fees / any other issues..plan to press my first quadratec order later this month
Honestly my advice is to jump off the Quadratec ship. They don't have stock, they can't get stock, but they'll process your order and take your money and string you along as long as they can. Bite the bullet and go the Amazon route. Mine was delivered within a week with minimal fussI’m interested to hear how it goes shipping wise...speed of transit / fees / any other issues..plan to press my first quadratec order later this month
I placed the order in mid February, at that time I knew some of the items, including the new soft top which is the biggest item, were not in stock and so it would not be shipped straight away. The shipping cost from Quadratec seems very competitve, so I completely understand that they are not going to split the order and will only ship when everything is available.I’m interested to hear how it goes shipping wise...speed of transit / fees / any other issues..plan to press my first quadratec order later this month
Trouble is I can't get everything I have ordered through Quadratec from Amazon, I have ordered more than just the new top.
Hi thanks for the opinion. much appreciated..the issues are that some of the things I wish to buy are Quadratec items and I didn't want to get hit with multiple handling charges..out of interest I'll look at which parts I can order via Amazon and see their prices / delivery timescales / charges!
It is interesting that you were getting updates / emails from Quadratec on the likely shipping dates, I haven't had anything like that.
