NEED A REPLACEMENT PART?

The Sunrider for Hardtop replaces your factory Freedom Panels, making open-air driving an everyday habit.

You bought your Jeep for the feeling of open air, and the Sunrider for Hardtop makes that feeling part of every drive, from lighter commutes to relaxed weekend errands. As the only aftermarket brand trusted as an OE soft-top supplier for Jeep and Ford, Bestop pours decades of hands-on fabric expertise into a fit that seals cleanly, rides quietly, and holds up season after season. The Sunrider for Hardtop is the first and only flip-back conversion that swaps your factory Freedom Panels for a soft panel you flip back in seconds, right from the driver's seat, with no panels to remove, haul, or store. It is built in North America to Bestop's OEM-certified standards, with your choice of 30 oz Premium Twill or 28 oz Black Diamond vinyl and a water-repellent, UV-resistant outer layer that keeps you dry, warm in winter, and cool in summer. It arrives as a pre-installed fabric-on-frame assembly with door rails and full instructions, engineered to fit Jeep Wrangler JK and JL and Jeep Gladiator factory hard tops with no drilling and a roughly 30-minute install. Find your fit and let the open air into your everyday.

Key Features:

  • First and Only of Its Kind - The original Sunrider flip-back conversion gives hard top owners instant open-air access from the driver's seat, with no panel removal.
  • No-Drill, Ready to Install - The Sunrider arrives as a pre-installed fabric-on-frame assembly with door rails and full instructions for a no-modification install in around 30 minutes.
  • Fits Wrangler and Gladiator - Engineered to fit Jeep Wrangler JK and JL and Jeep Gladiator factory hard tops directly.
  • Your Choice of Fabric - Choose 30 oz Premium Twill or 28 oz Black Diamond vinyl, each with a water-repellent, UV-resistant outer layer.
  • Built to OE Standards in North America - Bestop is the only aftermarket brand trusted as an OE soft-top supplier for Jeep and Ford, and every Sunrider is made in North America to OEM-certified standards.
  • All-Weather, 4-Season Construction - The premium outer layer keeps your interior dry and comfortable, warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
  • Engineered for Quiet Operation - A precision fit reduces wind noise for a more peaceful drive, open or closed.
  • Secure, Snug Closure - The Sunrider soft top seals shut with a snug, secure closure that keeps the cabin buttoned up when parked.

Reviews

Easy install, barring some tugging

"Easy install, barring some tugging and stretching that was needed to even out the fabric after it was installed. Super easy to open and close."

— Marc S. (5/5)

It’s ALL good!!!

"It’s all good, from the ease and convenience of the install to simple operation. Shipped quickly and easily. Absolutely zero regrets and for those concerned with any noise issues it’s not dramatic in anyway. Definitely recommend buying the hothead liner to complement the Sunrider."

— James E. (5/5)

Great open air Gladiator.

"Purchased for my 2026 Gladiator. Love it. Literally opens and closed in seconds. Installation was a breeze. Well made and no leaks. So glad I waited for the Bestop sale so I could afford the premium twill for about the same price as the black diamond."

— James H. (5/5)

Good, not great

"It's ok. The flexibility is AMAZING. The quality seems to be good. It covers about 25% of the opening and it changes the experience significantly. It also creates a wind tunnel causing an air pressure imbalance. I can fix the air imbalance by rolling down the back windows a little, but then I forget to roll them back up. And I drive about 100 miles a day on the highway and my mpg decreases when it is open a significant amount. But not having to take the freedom panels off and then store them in the bed is amazing. I'm trying to decide if the cost benefit is there. If I had to do it over I would get the hinges for the freedom panels where you can just flip them back to open."

— Sheryl B. (3/5)

Best top is the best

"Best top is the best thing I put on my Jeep. So easy to open and close by yourself. I installed it myself as well, just needed a bit of help getting it up there."

— Dee K. (5/5)

"easy installation and sooo much better than the panels! going to leave on for the winter and see how it goes so far no leaks love this top"

— ken l. (5/5)

I love my Sunrider. We

"I love my Sunrider. We live in an area with fine volcanic dust and the Sunrider top allows me flexibility to have a sunroof without taking the freedom panels off and on."

— cindi m. (5/5)

Absolutely the best thing ever!

"Removing the freedom panels is easy enough, but to store them is an issue then hesitant to go if there is a chance of rain. With the sunrider for hardtop, it is SO easy to just open and close on fly. I assembled it myself but did need my son to help lift if onto the top of my Wrangler. Simple and easy. Best purchase I have made! If you are on the fence, just get it! :)"

— Laurie C. (5/5)

Highly recomend, easy to install,

"Highly recomend, easy to install, super convenient to use. I open it nearly every time i drive if the weather permits. I love mine"

— Michael D. (5/5)

Love that I don’t have

"Love that I don’t have to remove the freedom panels to enjoy the sun and breeze. Just flip the top up and I’m ready to go!"
