Re: Bestop Bikini Top
I have a 2002 TJ and if fit on with the hardtop. I installed it once
and left it on. I do not recommend removing it since the screws will
not hold as tight the 2nd time. But if you have a soft top this model
is great as well. If you do not have a soft top be prepared to get
soaked when it rains. There are 2 huge gaps at each end. I ended up
selling this model and getting the no drill model, no rain leaks in!
But you can not use it if you have a soft top since the bar attaches
into the the slots for the soft top.

Re: Bestop Bikini Top
Bestop makes a no drill bikini top that has a header bar that clamps
into place just like the soft top and hard top. EZ on, EZ off.

Re: Bestop Bikini Top
I never knew about the 'no-drill' adaptor when I bought this top.
This adaptor was only $40canadian....so I'm sure the one you have is a bit
pricier!
I didn't see that adaptor 'til I was checking around on the Bestop site.
Looks cool, but until I get something more secure so far as storage space,
I'm reluctant to haul extra hardware.
