Bestop 5124301 No-Drill Header Windshield Channel for 2007-2018 Wrangler JK 2-Door & 4-Door

Perfect for what I needed!

No regrets on this purchase.

I love the way this attaches without the need for any drilling. The thumb bolts combined with the metal piece that distributes the pressure across the entire attachment point works so well you would think this was a factory item. The channel itself fits perfectly across the windshield gasket for a nice tight seal. In fact, it fits so well that when the bikini top is attached I wouldn't be surprised if the air noise coming from the windshield is actually lower than with the hard top attached. The bikini top attaches easily and I reattach this when I remove my bikini top so I don't have to worry about storing it. Obviously it can not remain attached when you put the hard top back on but I'll worry about then when it is time.

Step by step and no issues with the install.

The directions and an install video I watched by Ext.Terrain we’re somewhat confusing because I could totally tell from the design that they were doing it wrong, but, they were the experts so, I went with it, while the whole time saying “this cannot be the correct way to install this” Got about 2-3 miles down the highway and the front popped out and flew back!!! Mad, hit a U-turn went home, put it on the way I thought it should be, and it was perfect. The screws feet in through the “eye” of where your freedom panels lock in, and there’s like these feet things that but you against it to lock it in. If you ain’t doing it like that, you doing it wrong

Very sturdy and seals the leading edge of the bimini very nicely.

Brackets were installed backwards. Once I figured out it was incorrect from the factory I flipped them around and it worked great!

I was worried that we would have to drill into the jeep and that wasn't needed at all. This slides into a sleeve of the top and attaches on with screw brackets that are already on the unit for the hardtop. this was super easy to install and worked perfectly with a nice tight fit and seal. The directions were easy to read and understand. If you aren't sure which you need call Bestop! They are super helpful and the tops all have their own part numbers with hardware numbers so be sure you are getting the right thing.
