i don't think they made tinted front windows. you'll need to get hard doors and tint em out if you want the front ones tinted

companies can tint GLASS windows but i've never heard of anyone tinting plastic windows. and you can tint front windows on any car, but not if it lets less than 35% of the light through, legally. of course you can get em darker, but then you have to deal w/ the yearly inspections in nc. and with trucks/suvs you can go as dark as you want on the rear windows

ive got the sailcloth bestop with tints on my jeep. THe fucking zippers on the front windows quit working and i havent had the top on there but two years. I think there is some kind of lube that you should put on the zippers if you want them to last. As for the front tints, dont think you can, ive tried.

yeah, these zippers are shit. I'll oil them up each season change and thats helps a little.

This new bestop is awesome.

I have my old besttop for sale if anyone wants it. Comes with all installation hardware (rail guides, bars, screws, bolts, etc) Everything minus the window rail guides for the passenger door and drivers door. The driver window doesn't zip up and the driver rear window the zipper is broke, but its tied together. 20$ and you can have the whole damn thing. It's black.

I am currently at UNCW but my top is located near Wilson, NC (30-40 mins, east of raleigh)

It's for a YJ. It came off my 1991 YJ. I think both buttons on the passenger and driver side of the window popped off when I got the jeep last year so I never used them. The only flaw is like I said, the window zippers broke off the driver side, and the driver side back window doesn't have a zipper and was tied together some how. The windows are kinda scratchy but they are good to see out of of and all. I have all the bolts and rails still. The main top itself is in good shape IMO. No tears or holes.

It's a 20$ top, so don't expect pure perfection. I have pics of the top on my jeep before I took it off. PM me you want pics.
