Jeep Announces New Sunrider Flip Top for Hardtop; Innovative Feature Available Now on Jeep Gladiator Models

[MPMB]

So is 82216370AA Diamond or Twill? Do we know?

Since Jeep is only offering 1 softtop, the press release says twill fabric, so yes?

I'm so glad I waited. Now I can grab one new for $704.55!!! More palatable!

Not understanding the pricing of the Sunrider from the factory at $895. You can get it from Bestop's website right now for $850, and they run rebates from time to time. If it's going to be a factory option, then economies of scale should bring that price point down to ~$700-$750 and they'd sell a lot more. Only people who would buy it now are those that don't know any better, unless there is something better about the factory one. I must be missing something...

Maybe because you have the convenience of folding it into the cost of the car and can finance it. Not that that makes it any better.

For me it would be the Jeep warranty so much easier for me to go to the dealer then have to ship to bestop if an issue happens

The Mopar App typically has an active coupon for 15% off all mopar parts/accessories. So, this makes it less than Bestop at the dealership.
Smart move by Jeep.

So if you are buying a new Gladiator, adding the dual top option to a hardtop cost $1000.

So the Sunrider is only $200 less than a whole soft top!!.

Its a cool idea and all, but wow.

Has jeep announced plans to do something about this yet?

Been saying all along that this should be a factory option. I love my Sunrider. Best of both worlds.

One of the best add ons we made to our JT ... I would buy 10x over regardless of the price.

Could be worse - could be a mullet.

My wife says the Gladiator is the mullet of the Jeep line.

I know man. They did a great job on the JL and JT. I wasn't happy that they changed the angle of the windshield but it was inevitable in today's political climate. They seriously missed the mark with how the soft top comes down on both jl and jt. They sacrificed the minimalist, open look for ease of use and more hardware and it looks like ass when it's not closed up. I'd rather have a canvas top that leaked and fastened to riveted buttons on the body panels than be caught in a factory top in the down position.

I tell people that my Sunrider for Hardtop is a reverse mullet....party in the front and business in the back.
