Frequently Asked Questions
A Jeep bikini top is a lightweight, partial-coverage shade that sits over the front seats (or front and rear seats, depending on configuration) while leaving the rest of the cabin open to the sky. It is designed for open-air driving, giving you sun protection without closing off the Jeep experience. Bikini tops install over the roll bar or sport bar and are easy to put on and take off as conditions change.
A bikini top and a bimini top serve the same purpose: providing shade during open-air driving. "Bikini top" is the term most commonly used for Jeep Wrangler models, while "bimini" is the term Bestop uses for its Ford Bronco sun shade. Both are partial-coverage canopies, and neither is a replacement for a full soft top.
It depends on the configuration. The Bestop Sun Bikini is designed to work over your existing soft top or hardtop with no windshield channel required, so you do not need to remove anything. The Traditional, Safari, and Targa configurations are designed for top-off use and require the factory top to be removed before installation.
Bestop offers four bikini top configurations. The Sun Bikini installs over an existing top for added shade. The Safari Bikini provides extended coverage for front and rear seats. The Traditional Bikini offers classic front-seat-only shade with tie-down straps. The Targa Bikini delivers front-seat coverage for top-off, doors-off riding.
Yes. Bestop manufactures bikini tops for the Jeep Wrangler JL (2018+), JK (2007-2018), and TJ (1997-2006), as well as earlier CJ and YJ models. Specific configurations and part numbers vary by model year and body style (2-door vs. 4-door). Use the Year/Make/Model fitment tool on any product page to find the right fit.
Yes. Bestop offers bikini top options for the Jeep Gladiator (JT) and a bimini-style top for the Ford Bronco. Coverage and configuration options may differ from Wrangler models, so check fitment by year, make, and model to confirm availability for your specific vehicle.
Most Bestop bikini tops install without tools using the vehicle's existing sport bar or roll bar as mounting points. The Sun Bikini simply drapes over your current top and secures in place. Other configurations use straps, hooks, or header channels depending on the model. Each product includes step-by-step instructions, and most installations take under 30 minutes.
Bikini tops are designed primarily for sun protection during open-air driving, not as weather barriers. While Bestop uses UV-resistant and mildew-resistant fabrics that can shed light rain, a bikini top is not a substitute for a full soft top in heavy weather. For complete weather protection, consider a Bestop Trektop, Supertop, or Sunrider.
Bikini Tops and Sunshades: Open-Air Freedom, Your Way
A bikini top sits between full exposure and a full soft top, giving you shade over the front seats while keeping the sky wide open. Whether you drive a Wrangler, Gladiator, or Ford Bronco, a Jeep sunshade or bikini top is the simplest way to stay cool on warm-weather drives without closing yourself in. If you already run a Sunrider for Hardtop for quick flip-back access, a bikini top makes the perfect warm-season companion when you want even less between you and the sky.
How To Choose the Right Bikini Top
Not all bikini tops work the same way. Bestop offers four distinct configurations so you can match coverage and installation style to the way you actually drive.
Sun Bikinis attach directly to the sport bar with no extra hardware and no windshield channel required. They work alongside your existing soft top or hardtop, so you can leave them ready to go and swap in seconds. Sun Bikinis come in Targa (front seats only) and Safari (front and rear seats) styles.
Header Bikinis mount to a windshield channel for a tighter, more secure fit over your front seats. If you already have a channel installed from a full soft top, the Header Bikini snaps right in. Available in Targa, Safari, and cable-style configurations for JK, TJ, and earlier Wrangler and CJ models.
Traditional Bikinis use tie-down straps that hook to your factory footman loops, delivering classic open-air coverage with a straightforward, no-drill setup. This is the tried-and-true Jeep bikini top design that has worked across generations of Wranglers.
Retractable Sunshades (SunScreen) roll out when you need shade and tuck away when you want full sun. If you prefer a Jeep mesh top style that stows neatly, the SunScreen gives you that flexibility without removing or storing a separate top.
Bimini for Bronco: Bestop's Access Bimini and Safari Bimini bring the same open-air concept to the Ford Bronco, giving Bronco owners coverage options designed specifically for that vehicle's sport bar geometry.
