Before you begin installing your new Trektop NX, please read all the instructions thoroughly, and watch the Bestop installation video. (See Support section on this page).

For a smooth fit:For easier installation, the top should be installed at a temperature above 72°F. Below this temperature, the fabric may contract an inch or more, making it difficult to fit the vehicle.

It is normal for the fabric to contract and wrinkle when stored in the shipping carton. Within a few days after installation, the fabric will relax and the wrinkles will disappear.
