Sunrider for Hardtop Soft Top Panel

Open-Air Freedom, Every Day

Some drives deserve a dash of fresh air and open sky. The Sunrider for Hardtop makes that possible on any drive, not just the ones you plan for. Instead of pulling off Freedom Panels, finding somewhere to store them, and hoping the weather holds, you simply unlatch and flip back a single fabric panel and go. Seconds, not minutes. The panel stays attached and flips back by hand.

The Bestop Sunrider for Hardtop is designed for drivers who want open-air access to be a part of daily life. Morning commutes that feel fresher, errands that become small escapes, after-school pickups with the sky overhead. IIt fits the way you drive, making spontaneous open-air moments as simple as reaching up and flipping back.

Whether you drive a Jeep Wrangler, Gladiator, or Ford Bronco, the Sunrider turns your hardtop into something more versatile without giving up the protection and security you count on when the weather turns.

Choosing the Right Sunrider for Your Vehicle

Vehicle fitment: The Sunrider for Hardtop is available for 2007-current Jeep Wrangler JK, 2018-current Jeep Wrangler JL, 2020-current Jeep Gladiator, and 2021-current Ford Bronco (2-door and 4-door). Use the Year/Make/Model fitment tool on each product page to confirm your exact fit before ordering.

Fabric options: Choose between Black Diamond and Premium Black Twill. Both are engineered for all-weather performance and long-term durability. Black Diamond offers proven protection at an accessible price point, while Premium Black Twill delivers a refined look and feel with enhanced UV resistance and sound deadening.

Installation: The Sunrider installs with basic hand tools and existing hardware fitment. The kit includes a pre-assembled fabric-on-frame panel, door rails, and step-by-step instructions. No drilling is required. After the initial install, there is nothing to bolt, clip, or adjust again. Open and close it by hand, as often as you want.

Sunrider vs. a full soft top: The Sunrider is not a replacement for a full soft top. It replaces only the front Freedom Panels of your hardtop, giving you quick overhead access while keeping the rest of your hardtop in place. If you want full open-air transformation from enclosed to completely topless, explore the Supertop or Trektop families. Many owners run a Sunrider for daily convenience and a full soft top for weekend adventures.

Accessories: The Hothead Headliner is a popular companion to the Sunrider, adding further sound and temperature insulation and a finished interior look to the underside of your top.

Why Bestop

Bestop has been building soft tops since 1954. In that time, one thing has stayed constant: every product is engineered with the same precision and testing standards that earned Bestop Jeep's sole OEM soft top supplier and OEM partner to Ford Bronco.

That means the Sunrider for Hardtop is not an afterthought or a generic accessory. It is designed, tested, and manufactured to meet factory-level fit, sealing, and durability standards in the industry's only OEM-certified soft top factory in North America. The fabrics, stitching, and hardware are purpose-built for the specific vehicles they fit, and each Sunrider is a pre-assembled, ready-to-install unit.

When you install a Bestop Sunrider, you are adding a product backed by tthe same brand Jeep trusts to build its factory soft tops.
