## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Make sure you order the front track
*by  on Reviewed in Canada 16 September 2025*

It fit great. It didn’t come with the front window frame track. I had to buy it separately but both fit perfectly screw holes lined up with the pre drilled holes

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than I had anticipated
*by  on Reviewed in the United States 9 December 2025*

Very much like the bikini top I put on my Jeep in 1982. The original Whitco top straps eventually rotted out after 40 years in the weather. No complaints with the new Bestop Traditional Bikini so far, good tight fit using newer style Bestop window rail. Snaps on the new top not used in this application with Bestop rail. Uses original rear cleats on the CJ. New cleats included with the top if you don't already have them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very unique!
*by  on Reviewed in Canada 8 January 2024*

This went on sale for 50% off so I figured why not? I really like the look of this. Going to let some sun in but still offer some wind stop. Just a bikini so it's easy to store in the lock box too so it won't get stolen and you always have on hand in case of emergency! Bestop quality to boot!
