The Best Jeep Soft Top (Review) in 2023 | Autance

The Pavement Ends 51197-35 model is the perfect replacement for a 1997–2006 Jeep Wrangler’s faded and worn soft top and fits seamlessly on an existing Jeep Wrangler two-door soft top frame and hardware. Designed to fit easily over the existing factory frame, you get a super-durable soft top fabric hood, side and rear windows, and upper door skins. And for a soft top, the fabric is impressively durable, making it a great value when your Jeep needs an upgrade.

Mildew and UV resistant, the top is made from vinyl-coated, marine-grade cotton, and you get a choice of 18-percent tinted or clear panel windows, which are removable. For a slick fit, it is a good idea to let the canvas warm up for a few hours in the sun, but the extra effort it worth it. However, it doesn’t fit Unlimited models.

Bestop has created a total package for the Jeep Wrangler (2007–2018 models) with this solid, quality-looking Jeep soft top that is a complete replacement set up. With the Supertop NX, they upped the specs, providing a lux look and performance, which makes it one of the most durable replacement soft tops available. It uses a triple-layer black twill fabric more often found on high-end sports cars, giving it a soft, wrinkle-resistant feel that also creates a solid barrier between you and the elements.

The cover fits snugly on the hardware frame, which is powder coated for corrosion and scratch resistance. Add in tinted removable side and rear windows, tough YKK plastic zippers, and quick-release knuckles as well as an adjustable tension base plate, and you have a superior replacement soft top that should last you some time, in style. Plus, there is a deal-sealing limited lifetime warranty.

Smittybilt offers a super-tough replacement Jeep Wrangler soft top for a not-so-tough price tag, which makes maintaining your Jeep during the summer a breeze.

In a smart, stark black or a choice of four other cool colors, the Black Diamond will fit neatly over your existing factory frame, so there is no excuse to hit the road with a tatty or past its sell by date soft top.

Users also report it is very easy to install.  The windows are DOT approved, and if the temperature rises in the driver’s cabin, simply zip out the rear window for extra ventilation.
