I have a full set of door surrounds and cab piece for sale for anyone looking at the bikini top that requires them.
Do you still have these? How much are you looking for them?

Bestop - Love the new bikini tops! How about selling a slightly modified version of 52615-35 for those of us with hardtops that want a less expensive and easy to take on/off summer soft top option (but live in a rain prone area)? The OEM overpriced man-bun soft top at $1800+ just doesn't cut it for many of us (looks and price are a no-go). The proposed kit would come with 52615-35, the door surrounds, and a back window that uses hook and loop fasteners/zipper to fully enclose the cab (or some other simple design). When you take it all off it can be stuffed under/behind the back seat. And while I'm dreaming... give it a $499 or lower price tag.
This needs to happen. Add an option for a side rail for us with hard tops. I want to give you my money. (More)

How do all of these straps not scratch the paint driving down the road? This the only thing preventing me from buying the header style.

I bought 52614-35 and the Windshield Channel. Can the Channel stay on for freedom panel installation or do I have to remove it every time?

That's pretty inconvenient. Not going to lie. Lol
Very much so. Mine sits on a shelf in the garage. I ran it for about 3 hours total. Hated it.

Hey all!
We are excited to announce 2 new header bikinis from Bestop specifically for the Gladiator! What is a header bikini? A header bikini uses a windshield header to make a positive connection to the windshield, similar to a soft top.

The 52615-35 is a cable-style design. What that means is that it requires soft top door surrounds and it uses these elements to create a better seal to the door. This bikini comes with the windshield channel.

The 52614-35 only requires the 51244-01 windshield channel for install.

Time to open up some of these beautiful Gladiators!
Let me know if there's any questions.

Are there any pics of actual customer Gladiators with the cable style version installed? I haven't come across any pics anywhere. If not, how about some other angles/close-ups of your own?

Any update on a door surround frame kit for those of us with hardtops? Thanks.
