I had the same issue as the other person – tabs wouldn't stay in after a dirt road, then once they had that fine dust on them, they wouldn't stay in when driving on the interstate, either. That person is lucky they ordered directly from you. I got mine from a local camper top place. Your phone tech support was nice but basically informed me I was SOL because of that. I had to return it to the store and pay their distributors 15% restocking fee.

It's identical to Gren71's pics up above. I have the tonneau on now (not the Supertop) with the Twill fabric. I'm trying to see if it's going to lay down nice in the corners. That's my only grip thus far but maybe with some more heat and time it will lay down better. Just installed this past weekend.

I put on the twill tonneau after my last camping trip and I feel lucky I didn't lose a couple fingers trying to get that sucker tucked in under the tailgate lip!

Mine has been on for weeks and the corners are just absolutely terrible. I feel like I did something wrong or there should be some way to attach the corners to the rail because it just doesn't look right. I need to take some pics.

Overall I am less than happy with the tonneau for the supertop 2, my JT came with the Mopar tri-fold cover which wasn't the best when you cram the bed full but it sure is a lot easier and more convenient to close than this Supertop tonneau! I don't ever want to open it up because I know how much of a pain it will be to close it back up each time!!

Lastly there is zero security, anyone can come along and just peel it open. I hadn't taken this into consideration initially. At least with the Mopar tri-fold cover it "locks" to the bed rail from the inside. Yes of course anyone with a knife could easily get into any soft tonneau, but in public if someone is opening the Bestop Supertop tonneau it doesn't look out of the ordinary like someone stabbing a knife into 1!

Oh jeeze, I’d love to see some pictures of you get the time.

100% agree the corners for the super top 2 tonneau are terrible… looks like crap

Anyone have any information on the wait time for the Bestop topper? I ordered on Aug 10 and haven't heard anything.

That's just fugly!

I love it. Hummer style, isn't it? I also found this picture but it seems complicated to find a supplier. If anyone could help, welcome...

@Bestop Any idea on offering a fastback version of this bed topper like the Trektop Pro for the Jk and JL?
[/QUOTE Have you found a fastback hardtop for gladiator? same style picture attached.

 

[Goolfy1]

Like a soft version of this?

I'm having a hard time imagining that would be a good seller but my ears are always open.

While their website states it's never been tested. Does anyone out there know of or seen a FabFours Overlank Rack with a canvas top?

https://fabfours.com/product/jeep-gladiator-overland-rack/

I'm curious if the two would work.

I've not tested it, but I'm going to say no. The rail the camper top uses sits on the side of the bed. The bedrack sits in the same spot, so you can't have both.

SO, Good news, bad news, good news.
Good news first, the twill top arrived Friday, with no missing parts and no shipping damage! Got home from work and started unboxing, parts counts, and install.
Bad news, ran into a hiccup with one of the rear corner pieces, it was missing two press brake bends needed for proper alignment of the tailgate bar.
Good news, I got the rest of the top on and it looks GREAT!
Twill-on-twill looks even better than I had hoped.
I've sent in my issue and info to the @Bestop customer service department for a warranty replacement part, as long as I've waited I guess I get to wait some more.
