Construction & Design

Bestop’s Replace A-Top Sailcloth Upper Door Skins utilize a premium multi-ply sailcloth fabric that is heavier and more robust than the standard dual-ply materials found in many soft tops. This construction provides a tougher barrier against wear and tear while maintaining flexibility and ease of installation. The fabric’s texture and weave are optimized to resist fading, cracking, and stretching, ensuring a consistent fit and finish over time.

The design maintains the original contours and attachment points of the Jeep Wrangler TJ’s upper door area, allowing for a seamless replacement that integrates flawlessly with existing soft top components. The sailcloth’s enhanced thickness also contributes to improved sound dampening and weather resistance, making it a practical upgrade for daily drivers and off-road enthusiasts alike.

Installation & Fitment

Installation of the Bestop Replace A-Top Sailcloth Upper Door Skins requires the factory original hardware to be in good condition, as these skins are designed to fit precisely with the existing mounting points on the 1997–2002 Jeep Wrangler TJ models. The replacement process is straightforward for those familiar with soft top maintenance and can typically be completed with basic hand tools.

Careful removal of the old upper door skins is necessary to avoid damaging the hardware, and it is recommended to inspect all fasteners and seals during installation to ensure a secure and weather-tight fit. Bestop provides detailed instructions to guide users through the replacement process, making it accessible for both professional installers and experienced DIYers.
