Bestop Soft top question

I just recently picked up a bestop soft top. Its missing all the brackets and bows and has a few stains in the windows. I called bestop and they said don't make them anymore. Any idea where I could get these? Are there any other manufacturers that make a kit that will work?

It seems that the stains on the windows are from mud. I would guess that it was never cleaned then put in storage. What works good for cleaning up the stains?

When I bought my Jimmy it had a never installed bestop soft top. I actually thought about selling it, but am not sure wiw? Would you mind sharing what you paid for yours.

Re: Bestop Soft top question

I don't know if the clear plastic cleans up well. My windows are badly stained and scratched. The upholstery guy said replace the clear areas. The only problem is that the rest of the top is tired.

Would you be interested in selling your top or buying my bows and hardware? Seems like together we have one complete, good top. $300 for the bows and powder coated door frames. What would you want for the top? New from softopper is $850 complete.

Re: Bestop Soft top question

The top does have one small tear(2-3 inch) on the passenger side, about 8 inches above the rear window. The stains are basically a red tint on part of the plastic windows. Overall the condition of the vinyl is great although a few of the snaps would need to be replaced. I may be interested in parting with it if I cant find the brackets for reasonable price. I paid 300 for it but thought it had some hardware with it

I would be interested in the top if you choose to sell. I would also entertain offers for the hardware.
