@BestopTeam , i've read on other forums about people complaining about the top tearing some rubber seal. These posts were back in 2016. Has this been resolved by now?

Hey Cassie, I tried to PM you... I installed my sunrider on my JT this week. Awesome top...love the option to go virtually topless and not have to store the freedom panels! My question is about the fit of the twill at back of the side supports....see attached pics. Is this normal?

Top works great.

Sorb’s.....the cable and z-clip only fit one way for it to go into the indentation on the inside of the door rails....what am I missing? Really looks like this one is the same way....

Sorbs is yours diamond or twill......just curious....

Yes, it’s the twill. Also, you can put the cable in upside down. If the cable “z” clip was easy to install then you most likely installed it incorrectly.

Based on the picture it looks like you didn’t have a issue with the z clip. ;)

Sorbs, not sure how his looks different than the instructions...

Looking at the instructions you posted and the picture Quadi posted there’s something out of whack. The plastic rail should be aligned with the rain gutter and it’s clearly not aligned.

My z clip cable is not visible and it was a pain to get right before installing on my rig. Might need to align the plastics by loosening the bolts that hold the frame to the roll bar.

Yes that was resolved immediately, and only some people had issues.

Yeah door rails are out of whack for some reason.

Hey Cassie what is going on in the bed of this Gladiator? Looks like someone is working on a fabric cover for the bed. Please let everyone know. Thanks
Shared these on our social media this morning, sharing here as well with our new Gladiator specific page!

Looks like they're working on the frame for the folding soft top.
