Made with premium black twill fabric on a durable frame, it installs easily with no drilling required and is backed by a 5-year warranty. Designed for all-weather, year-round use, it offers Jeep owners a seamless way to enjoy the outdoors while maintaining rear hardtop coverage. ## Description The Bestop Sunrider for Hardtop gives 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK and JKU hardtop owners open-air driving without removing the hardtop or committing to a full soft top conversion. It installs in the front section of your hardtop opening and flips back in seconds from the driver's seat — no tools, no help required. Important: Jeep produced both the JK and JL platforms in the 2018 model year. This product fits the 2018 Wrangler JK only — if you own a 2018 Wrangler JL, see the Bestop 52454 series. This is a hardtop-only product. It replaces the factory Freedom Panel section above the front seats, giving you instant sky access while your rear hardtop panels stay exactly where they are. When conditions change, flip it back forward and you're covered. Constructed with Premium Black Twill fabric on a durable frame assembly, the Sunrider for Hardtop is built for all-purpose, all-weather, year-round use on the JK platform — from daily commutes to trail days. Installation is rated Level 2 — Moderately Easy, with an estimated install time of approximately 1 hour. No drilling or modifications required. The fabric-on-frame assembly arrives pre-installed. Full installation instructions are included. Every box includes the complete pre-installed fabric-on-frame assembly, front door rails, and installation instructions. No additional hardware is required for standard installation. Bestop has been engineering Jeep-specific tops and accessories for over 70 years. Backed by a 5-year warranty. Designed in the USA, manufactured in Mexico. Review: No more bulky freedom panels to remove... - This took me a bit longer than 40 mins to install. I was able to install myself. I actually watched an install video on you tube by Bestop. Made install easier. Please follow instructions exactly. I decided to jump steps and therefore prolonged the install. The instructions also call for cutting into bar padding, however, I had removed my faded sport bar padding a couple years ago and have been running bare bars for awhile so lining up the screw holes was easy for me. Once complete, I am absolutely satisfied with this item. This definitely makes opening your Jeep top convenient. This top is like a convertible, you just unhook and pull top back. Within seconds you go from top to topless. I even did this at a red stoplight. I was also able to open the sunshade and shoot the video at the same time. Easy peasy. I had a shadeidea mesh shade installed and this would have worked in conjunction to that however, it would have been in the way of operating this sunshade effectively. The material is high quality. It doesnt appear to make much noise while driving closed, as far as rain getting in, I haven't had this for a rainfall just yet. Keep in mind, upon being a new item, the first few times of closing shade will be a little tight. But the more I'm using it, the easier it gets. The sun needs to help stretch the material. Definitely worth the price. The good thing is, you can remove this easily to re-install freedom panels if you get bored. I ordered the Black Diamond version because of all the off-roading I do.. I heard the Twill is harder to keep clean. Thank you Bestop for coming out with this fun Jeep accessory. I ordered the retractable mesh shade that goes with this sunrider and have left a review with video.. go check it out. Review: Favorite Upgrade - I don't know why I waited so long to get this upgrade. I live in a location where car break-ins are common, so a full soft top is not an option. I found this option and was a little annoyed that it cost almost as much as a full soft top, so I waited on the decision. I'm glad I finally pulled the trigger. The top panels are so big, cumbersome, and are hot to touch in the sun. I could never fit them in the back with my two large German shepherds. Now, it's an easy flip! To all those that say it's loud, it's not that much louder. Jeeps are loud vehicles because they don't have any insulation anywhere. When it's open, I've gone 80mph and it doesn't flap. The only time I've heard flapping is when there's a cross breeze when you're riding. Installation was super easy to follow, but I've done a few mods before, so I feel comfortable doing these. Took me maybe an hour with 1 person. It fits perfectly, and for me, everything lined up well. I have not washed the jeep yet, so I can't say whether or not there are any leaks - fingers crossed. One area on the passenger side door gets a little hung up on the rain rail, and the fabric bunches a bit when I close the top, but I just manually straighten it out. Not a big deal. Overall, great product. Wish it was a little less expensive, but you get what you pay for, so I am anticipating that this lasts many years. ## Features - CONFIRMED FIT: Fits 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK (2-door) and JKU (4-door Unlimited).

So please dont judge but Can you use just this with hardtop off or is it all or nothing?** A: Yes you can use it without the hardtop, just make sure to remove the rear attach brackets in section 5 (page 8) of the instructions. Those small brackets are there just to snug the Sunrider to the hardtop for a water tight seal. Otherwise, the Sunrider is firmly held in place by the attachments at the b-pillar roll bar (the one your sound bar is attached to) and at the windshield by the header latches that clamp down on the footman loops just above/in front of the sun visors. I run the Sunrider like this Spring, Summer, and Fall. I can even flip it open just like when the hard top is attached. When you go to put the hard top back on just make sure to re-install the rear attach brackets for a water tight seal. The above was all obvious to me when I first installed the Sunrider. The attachment points that hold it to the Jeep have nothing to do with the hard top, once again the rear attach brackets are just there to push the Sunrider down on the hardtop to squeeze the seals and keep water out. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No more bulky freedom panels to remove... *by A***L on April 2, 2022* This took me a bit longer than 40 mins to install.

The included installation guide is poorly written and illustrated - the door riders look nothing like the actual product, so after some playing around finally got them partially installed. The rear knobs are very difficult to install and it seems as if they are too short. The bolts also seem too short. Bestop's YouTube installation guide is unhelpful - it's more an ad showing how easy this is to install, which it isn't. I may just have to return this to Amazon. Other than that this seems like a great product. ## Frequently Bought Together - Bestop 5245335 Sunrider for Hardtop for 2007-2018 Wrangler JK 2-Door & Unlimited - Freedom Panel Hard Top Storage Bag with Handle Compatible with 2007-2022 Jeep Wrangler JK JKU JL JLU Sports Sahara Freedom Rubicon Unlimited Gladiator 2-Door & 4-Door & 2020-2022 Gladiator JT - Xislet Removal Tool Kit Compatible with 2007-2024 Jeep Wrangler JL JLU JK JKU & Gladiator 2-4 Doors and Top Installation Torx Tool Kit Replace 82214166AB 68361574AB/AC --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/26089776-bestop-sunrider-for-hardtop-5245335-for-jeep-wrangler-jk-2007](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/26089776-bestop-sunrider-for-hardtop-5245335-for-jeep-wrangler-jk-2007) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-20*
