Today's my birthday. And for my birthday, my husband bought me the Bestop no-drill header w/ safari top. I was so happy to install it on my '06 Unlimited. But, What a pain in the a**!!! I am not an idiot and have done my own maintenance on most of my vehicles since I was able to drive. But, I cannot install this thing. I have pushed on the front of it until my shoulders gave out but it will not seat right! Even if I do get it installed in the upright position, it just tilts back down (is pulled down by the brackets). Those of you who've installed it will know what I'm talking about. My husband and I tried to install it together as well...no luck! To make matters worse, one of the endcaps is now broken. Is this thing really meant to fit my Jeep? I'm just sick (and pissed off). Can I return it now that it is busted?  It took me a long time to talk my husband into buying this and now I'm going to hear alot of "I told you so".

Replying to: erickpl (Jul 03, 2008 4:06 am) Both my husband and myself stood up in the seats and leaned onto the header to get it into position and tighten the bolts, but it still rotated back back when we let go. All of this took us several hours of having to leave the project to re-asess and take a breath. |

So...I'm fed up with the no-drill header and safari top. I'm going to just try having the top up with no windows. I've done it before but I don't like the drag that's created by the rear corner panels of the top. Has anyone tried tucking them up and fastening them to something? Any advice?

| I bought a soft top for my 87 wrangler and have not been able to get off the original metallic half doors to replace them with the new soft half doors. some one can help me?? | |

whats up, quick questions on the fitting of the aforementioned product. I have the 08 JK, and have purchased this top just for emergencgies (it helps the no hassle top feel, when you need the rear space). Anyway, I am not certain i have this thing on correctly. it fits over the cab, and everything. but the rear end seems tricky. it has a alot of extra fabric(most likely for when the top is on) but it blows aound in the wind, and quite frankly looks pathetic. let me know if anyone has thoughts on how to correctly get this thing on. |

I have removed the doors my 2005 Jeep Wrangler and the lights stay on. I need to push in the two triggers on the door but they won't stay in. Is there a switch or over for the triggers that keeps them in? Any thoughts? Thanks
