Bestop5123801 No-Drill Header Windshield Channel for 1997-2006 Wrangler TJ

Works like a charm on 2006 TJ

Almost perfect. Got this as a LPN return. Prior customer had stripped nutsert thread and returned item. I just had to rethread the nutsert and install the channel. Works perf.

I bought a different brand that said it worked with my 04 TJ but after receiving the plastic trim on the inside of the windshield would have to be modified. Returned and bought this one that fit perfectly without any modifications.

Easy to install. Works as designed.

I'm not sure why so many people had trouble with this product. I was able to install this on my 1999 Wrangler TJ Sahara by myself with no problem. The no drill design makes things so much simpler and everything fit perfectly. Make sure to read the instructions and watch youtube videos from Bestop and you will have no trouble at all. They really emphasize that you need to make sure you push the header all the way forward and flush with the seal, not leaning back where air or water could get in. The bigger challenge was installing the bikini top by myself, but I still managed to do it. Two people would have made that way easier, but that is not the fault of the header, which is why I am leaving this at 5 stars.

At first not sure how this thing will actually stay on--but after you get it in place and get it tightened up you soon realize just how stupid you were! The only thing I had a problem with is when I had to take it off. One on the brackets bolt/nut fitting had somehow loosened. It's hard to explain -- the part where the bolt inserts into the bracket had loosened from the bracket itself, like the crimping around the nut part had loosened. The good news is that Best Top (through Amazon) sent me new brackets to replace the others. Waiting for the weather to get a little better to try again. Otherwise -- love the whole bikini top thing!

I agree with many other reviewers. Definitely a well made product. However, this it not what you want if you plan to take it on and off. Install of the header bar is easy enough and bolts into the existing clamp holes. But, installation of the top was near impossible with one person. I couldn't get the plastic strip on the top to stay in place on the header bar during installation. After messing with it for 20 minutes, finally re-boxed it and sent it back.If this is going to stay on your jeep for extended periods of time and you have two people to install it, it's the way to go. If you want something that you are going to just put on for a day or two by yourself, it seems like way too much trouble.

Easy installation, fits great and holds the bikini top perfectly as it should.
