Did a search, found bubkus.

Mayhaps I missed it using my search criteria.

Fall is here in the wunderbar Nordosten , with Winter soon to follow.

Just picked up a Sun Rider.

How does it fare in Winter.

Or should I wait for Spring for install?

Thanks Folks!

I’m also interested in this. I think the OP needs to know how it does in cold, wind, and heavy snow.

I can't comment on the snow and my truck is parked in the garage, but I leave it on all winter. You never know when that random occasional nice day will pop up and you just want to flip it back.

I kept it on last winter and I'll keep in on again this year. If I'm by myself and it's not too windy, I'll even just flip it then and blast the heat. It is always parked in the garage, but there were a couple times with snow on top and it was fine. Cabin heats up no problem with it closed.

I literally just purchased one and I was contemplating the same thing as far as removing it once winter fully sets in. However, now that it’s on I may not remove at all. I got the twill version it’s pretty durable it seems. Also my JT is garage kept anyways so it’s never out an extended period plus it’s not even my daily driver due to having a work car.
Mine is most likely staying on.

Of course you should use BestTop Sunrider in the winter. Heat on, top back, fresh adrenaline, free. My back window will be out till early.mid december. These Jeeps and soft tops are all about summer fun.

You folks convinced me.

My birfday pwesent from me is going on this morning.

The question that will lead me to zero sleep tonight, should Anal Retentive be hyphenated?

I HATE!

REALLY HATE!

DISPISE!

Extended threads stickin' through sumthin'.

Too many years wrenchin' on planes.

I guess.

Needed?

Dunno, feel better with them being covered.

I just got mine last night and live in CO... I'm going for it all winter to test it out. My JTR sits outside so we'll see how it goes.

Bounced betwixt the Qudratec video and the enclosed instructions.



My IPTW didn't go to 55 IP, so we guessed.

Well designed, take it slow, engagement of the Bestop pins is critical.

Me thinks I'm gonna love it.

Nice as they are, the Freedom Tops were a pain in the tookus.

This is stupid easy, without the hassles.

Fit the Truckmaster design gutters just fine!

Happy Boy!
