Review: Works great and is very solid. - I love the way this attaches without the need for any drilling. The thumb bolts combined with the metal piece that distributes the pressure across the entire attachment point works so well you would think this was a factory item. The channel itself fits perfectly across the windshield gasket for a nice tight seal. In fact, it fits so well that when the bikini top is attached I wouldn't be surprised if the air noise coming from the windshield is actually lower than with the hard top attached. The bikini top attaches easily and I reattach this when I remove my bikini top so I don't have to worry about storing it. Obviously it can not remain attached when you put the hard top back on but I'll worry about then when it is time. Review: Easy to install - I was worried that we would have to drill into the jeep and that wasn't needed at all. This slides into a sleeve of the top and attaches on with screw brackets that are already on the unit for the hardtop. this was super easy to install and worked perfectly with a nice tight fit and seal. The directions were easy to read and understand. If you aren't sure which you need call Bestop! They are super helpful and the tops all have their own part numbers with hardware numbers so be sure you are getting the right thing. ## Features - Sturdy, Corrosion free steel construction - Includes fastening bolts and latches. - For Header Bikinis with part numbers 52580, 52581, 52583, 52584, 52585 and 52586 - Required to mount Header Channel style Bikini Top. - Bolt-on, no-drill Windshield Channel - Fits 2007-2018 Wrangler JK 2-door & 4-door ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000VLD744 | | Auto Part Position | Front | | Automotive Fit Type | Vehicle Specific Fit | | Best Sellers Rank | #166,784 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #18 in Jeep Soft Tops | | Brand | Bestop | | Brand Name | Bestop | | Color | Black | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Car | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 722 Reviews | | Exterior Finish | Painted | | Fit Type | Vehicle Specific Fit | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00077848018191 | | Included Components | Windsheild Channel, small parts | | Installation Type | Bolt-On | | Item Type Name | Windsheild Channel | | Item Weight | 6 pounds | | Manufacturer | Bestop | | Manufacturer Part Number | 5124301 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 1 Year | | Material | steel | | Material Type | steel | | Model Number | 5124301 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | OEM Equivalent Part Number | 51243-01 | | Style | Classic | | Style Name | Classic | | UPC | 077848018191 804314135485 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Bestop - **Color:** Black - **Exterior Finish:** Painted - **Material:** Alloy Steel - **Style:** Classic ## Images ![Bestop Windshield Channel 5124301 for Jeep Wrangler JK 2007-2018 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/611FYNwHpNL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Bought my bikini top through quadratec, now i need a header channel, will this fit any bikini top? mine does snap in the front. thanks!** A: Yes **Q: Will this work with a standard soft top to refuce wind noise?** A: This Windshield Header works with the Bestop JK Bikini's, it will not work with a standard soft top, no. **Q: I have a bestop for my 2005 wrangler will this top work on my 2015 wrangler jk with this channel?** A: No, any top or hardware for an 05 will not fit on a 15. **Q: does this work with a trektop?** A: It works with the trektop classic.
