I love my top especially since it doubles as a bikini top.

I get water in the far back, not sure from where but the tailgate doesn't fully seal to the trektop bar, just not sure how it gets in unless its from washing haha. I had a hard top before and will never have one again, I'll deal with a little bit of noise (it's a lot quieter then our YJ I grew up with). The bikini/safari top is my favorite and most hated feature. In my experience it just flaps around and ended up ruining its own little tabs that hold it in to the rear bar. I almost lost the bar until I zip tied it all together. Maybe I am missing something I don't know. Also the center bar/tube doesn't stay in its little holders for some reason. Anyways, I would still buy another...Maybe the twill one next time.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Trektop NX it's great! Fewer blind spots and it looks cooler than stock. I run the Trektop in the summer and hard top in the winter. No leaks in my trektop at all. And it doubles as a bikini top

Sounds like you may have some install issues. I don't see how the rear can flap if the rear bar is secured under the brackets, any pics of it in bikini mode? I have had the center tube issue you mention as well and it requires rotating it so the retainer in the middle sits properly and then snugging up the 2 straps. The rear leak maybe attributed to the rear top bar, don't know.

They're on my computer somewhere. I was going to email them to bestop and life got in the way. When I get back in to town tonight I'll find and reply again with them. The center bar I figured was my fault just never got around to messing with it, after your comment about it I'll try to look at it tomorrow as we'll. Thanks for the reply.

This know this is an old thread but am having the same debate trying to decide between the trek top and the rampage. Like that the rampage has storage pockets for the windows. Anyone using this?

I have only heard about the rampage once and it was when I was buying my trektop nx; the salesmen was saying I was making the right choice in getting g a bestop. He said he had ran a rampage and that stitching was horrible, the material was thinner than stock and that it was loud.

But I don't know first hand.
