Bestop Bikini
For Christmas, I got a Bikini top, for my 98 Wrangler. I SHOULD have
opened it and checked it out when I got it. Unfortunately I got my
first look at it this past weekend, and found that I need the "retainer
channel" yet I can't find it on their website.
My question to the group is.. Where does this "channel" bolt to, and
can I simply fab my own? Has anyone else done this?

Re: Bestop Bikini
they make 2 kinds one that you drill holes in the windshield and one that
bolts in to the factory latch spot.. I reccomend the one that bolts in but
it is more expensive if there is a 4 wheel parts near you they have them!

Re: Bestop Bikini
Thanks for that link, I was looking in the completely wrong spot...
I'm thinking of going with the drill-type, since then I can leave the
channel on there with the soft-top up. Does anyone have experience with
this? Does the drill-type channel look really strange when there is no
top on the vehicle?
Thanks!
