Any feedback, suggestions, ratings, good/bad for Rugged Ridge Voyager soft top for Gladiator? Function and such vs. Mopar OEM? Thank you

I've been happy with mine so far, but on long trips, and winter I throw the hard top back on. There are a couple easily tweakable issues that may or may not appear, such as the front not seating well.
The top is very easy to operate, keeps the Jeep dry, and keeps Jeep-Hair away until after work. I actually keep mine on the JT 8 month of the year. For what I paid ($500 at a Jeep Jam event) the top has been well worth it. Their support has been really good so far.

Good news. Thank you so much for that input. Helps me lean toward that. Mopar o.e.m. from Quadratec is not in stock/ na. And like $2600.. One further question. Does it pull back/sit well for driving top off? Notice Mopar unit sits kinda high in a stack, little bit goofy.

I'll try to get a photo tonight, but it is actually lower than even the bestop sunrider... the only real downside, is only the front opens... the center has straps that hold it to the sport bar, and the back is held down with straps to the back cab wall.

There are a few threads on this top including this one.

I have owned this top since July 2022 and will be putting mine back on in the next couple weeks. I have been happy with it but I also see why others have not. My top did not seal well at the top of the windshield when I first installed it and the wind noise and top flapping was unbearable above 50 mph. I was able to adjust it but it is still very bad on the highway once you start to go above 70.

I generally run the top with the back window and rear panels out in "Safari mode" all summer long. I also run the top with the back folded over the soundbar riding around town so it is almost completely open. I don't really do this on the highway since Rugged Ridge states it is not meant to be used with the back folded over.

If you have any specific questions about it feel free to ask.
