## Description

Bestop Windshield Channel is required for the installation of Bikini top, and is model specific for exact fit on the vehicle, and with specific Bikini Top used. Corrosion resistant steel. Header style no drill windshield channel is used only on 1997 current Wrangler, Wrangler Unlimited. 1 year Limited Warranty.

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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As advertised, good value & quality
*by R***E on June 5, 2021*

Installed in 20 minutes but I'd done one before... Good quality & does exactly what it's supposed to do, just make sure you have it centered left to right before tightening all the way or you won't be happy with how your top sits
