Hesitating over getting a soft top? It happens. We conquer some common myths the same way we conquer boulders on the trail.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>MYTH<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0<strong>Soft tops take all day to install.<\/strong>\u00a0100% disagree. Take our Bestop\u00ae Sunrider for Hardtop. With this flip-back, half-top, it\u2019s a matter of first removing your Freedom Panels. Then you simply install and tighten door rails, the deck assembly, caps and screws, and rear brackets followed by a fast latch. That\u2019s it, a quick 45 minutes out of your day for an entire year of yessssssssss!<\/li>\n<li><strong>MYTH<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<strong>Soft tops are noisier than a hard top.<\/strong>\u00a0Actually, during several field tests \u2013 including one conducted by auto-aficionado\u00a0Stacey David\u00a0\u2013 the Premium Black Twill material is actually quieter than a hard top.<\/li>\n<li><strong>MYTH<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<strong>Soft tops leak.<\/strong>\u00a0Again, not true! Over the years Bestop has perfected the engineering of a soft top, so you don\u2019t have to stress over whether water will get on the inside of your vehicle.<\/li>\n<li><strong>MYTH<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0<strong>Folding up when rain suddenly comes takes too long.<\/strong>\u00a0That\u2019s even quicker. It\u2019s a matter of flipping back the soft top from right inside your cab, then closing. Then latching.<\/li>\n<li><strong>MYTH<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0<strong>Soft tops are either on or off.<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>There\u2019s no middle ground.<\/strong>\u00a0Bestop top models like the fastback Trektop or all-new Supertop Ultra (available this summer) can go \u2018bikini-style\u2019. This way, everyone sitting in the front soaks in some Vitamin D while the backseat passengers can stay nice and shaded.<\/li>\n<li><strong>MYTH<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0<strong>Soft tops are for only hard-core fans.<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Big misconception here.<\/strong>\u00a0Soft tops are an everywhere, everyone thing. Mountains. Beaches. Urban jungles. It doesn\u2019t matter who you are or where you go. It only matters that you wake up all five senses to the elements you let in.<\/li>\n<li><strong>MYTH<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0<strong>Covers don\u2019t last.<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>They get shredded.<\/strong>\u00a0Maybe with older prototypes back in the 50\u2019s, but it\u2019s definitely no longer the case. Premium black twill lasts a good decade &#8211; maybe longer. In fact, it\u2019s the same fabric that is used in high-end luxury cars and convertibles. And Bestop backs it up with a limited lifetime warranty.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You have all the answers &#8211; Now all that\u2019s left is to go find one that\u2019s right for you, and we know just the place.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bestop.com\/\">Bestop.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Becoming a Jeep Wrangler owner doesn\u2019t happen by accident.
