Windshield Header / Channel Question

[Unknown_TJ]

Hello, new to the forum, long time lurker. Have a question I can't find on the web. Are all no-drill windshield headers universal? My old Bestop top is toast and just ordered the Mastertop summer combo. It states that it needs the Mastertop no-drill header, but curious if my old Bestop no-drill header will work? Thanks in advance.

Did you ever find out if the bestop windshield channel can be used with the mastertop summer combo? I am in the exact same situation.

I bought the cheaper Rampage version combo but Rampage header channel was out of stock everywhere so I asked QT and the Bestop no drill header fits most of the Bimini/Bikini/combos except I think Smittybuilt so I got the Bestop header have not got them yet so we will see.

Mastertop is just Bestops budget range so cant see why it wouldnt fit!

You have to ask exact questions to get detailed answers eg Q: if I buy a Mastertop summer combo do I need a Mastertop header Channel A: yes you will need part number blah blah! And this simple answer is because the factory header doesnt work.
or
Q: if I buy a Mastertop summer combo will any other brand no drill header channel work with the Mastertop? A: Yes Bestop no drill Bikini and safari top header channel works with most brand summer tops.

Thanks for the quick response! Well I wasn't able to cancel the order in time so I guess I will find out if it works next week. Good to know mastertop is associated with Bestop, as you stated they will hopefully be comparable.

Well QT told me the Bestop header works with the cheaper Rampage top so I think you will be fine.
Takes over a week to get an answer from QT under product reviews and question section but thats to be expected given the amount of fitting questions they must get!
