Trektop NX Glide has an innovative new folding frame design (patent pending), allowing it to function like a convertible top - just slide out the window panels (no zippers!) and it folds back behind the rear seat for a total open-air ride. For full coverage, the Trektop NX Glide is fast and simple to close. Zipperless side and rear panels allow for easy slide-in and slide-out, just like the ultra-premium Trektop Pro Soft Top.
Features:
Bestop's "must-have" fastback styling
Top-of-the-line 30-oz. triple-layer Acrylic Twill fabric, like the premium OEM optional soft top on factory Wranglers
40-mil tinted window panels with full-perimeter heat-sealing are D.O.T. approved
Zipperless side and rear window panels allow for easy slide-in/slide-out operation, just like the ultra-premium Trektop™ Pro soft top
Includes all the soft top fabric, window panels, and unique, simplified bow system for a no-drill installation
Flip-back Sunrider® panel with integrated storage pocket for small gear or other items
I purchased the Trektop NX Glide back in 2019. Got it around independence day, so it was really warm here in IA to let the fabric sit out and warm up before being installed. I really didn't' like the fastback style but it was the only top available for the JKs at the time that had ZERO zippers. The fastback style did eventually grow on me. This top is super easy to get the windows off & on. In colder weather the rear window is harder to put on & take off, but that is to be expected.
I love the option of being able to take just the back windows out and run the biniki top feature. This is the most common way I run the top when summer rolls around. The other feature I really like is being able to remove the whole top from the jeep if you want. We frequently visit Southern Missouri Off-road Ranch for off-roading, my husband and I will release the pins for the soft top and lift it off the Jeep to prevent it from potentially getting damaged while on the trails. It keeps the snow, rain, & other elements out of the Jeep, even through the Derecho we had in 2020.
I have read & heard of some people complaining about the wind noise from this top. I am not sure if they are just used to the hard tops and didn't know what to expect or what. I went into this top expecting more wind noise because of the soft material. Overall I love this top! it checked off the things that I was looking for when I started searching for a soft top. I have considered buying a different top, but I cannot bring myself to change from the fastback to the traditional square back. It wouldn't be my Jeep without the fastback.
