There are good videos online that show how to install and adjust if needed.

I’ve seen those. I’m just wondering if anyone has actually done it and if it’s as easy as shown.
Also curious if anyone has actually sat on their hardtop. Not sure I’d be cool with that

I installed mine and it was straightforward. My son did the back rack as I did the front and middle. The hardest part was cleaning the top with the cleaner provided. I spent a lot of time rubbing that top.
I was concerned too about sitting on the top, but it wasn’t an issue and I’m 230lbs. I have seen two people standing on those tops since then.
I like my flip tops. Easy to open and shut, helps if you have running boards

I bought the set with the rack and the flip tops. Waiting for the weather to warm up to install the flip tops, but I used the rack last summer and love it. So nice to be able to take the middle section with me even if the fronts are in the trunk. As an add on, anyone noticed any issues with sound deadening coming off while driving with the panels flipped back on top? The factory adhesive used doesn’t seem like the strongest stuff.

I'm always surprised by how trusting people are with double sided tape. For an application like this I just wouldn't trust it.
Expansion and contraction in extreme heat and extreme cold will always mess with double sided tape over time imo.

Just be careful when you do it. One of my front attachment hinges was just a smidge off when I laid just a part of it down but it stayed that way since once the piece touches the top, it is STUCK (good thing since you don't want the top panel flying off while driving).
The front parts are a piece of cake. The rear rack is the whole cake. The initial construction of it is a bit painful, but not totally awful. Getting it on the top itself is also interesting. Something wasn't quite lining up on mine, and I did sit on the top (I'm not a small person). It worked out ok.
Overall I'd say pretty much worth it. I blacked out the logos with some bedliner paint (sorry not sorry - I hate big assed logos on my things) and I have to say, I overall really like the look in addition to the extra functionality of it.
I was pretty set on getting a Bestop model to fold back the top, but saw the EZ Top when I joined yesterday. Up in the air, but think I may stick with the Bestop model.

Let me know if you have any questions about the FlipTop!
Autobody grade 3M or Norton two way tape is amazing I use it for many things recently got a big roll of 1 in. I reach for ir first. Just use acetone or alchohol to clean mating surfaces first and know it takes 24 hrs to set in for full bonding strength.
I use the flip top on my soft top all the time and if had hard rip would install them. Next best thing to an e-top.

No doubt you're using the best grade double sided tape known to man! I just wonder in areas where temperature extremes happen if it will last
Autobody supply sourced tape is superior to consumer grade. It'll hold a moulding on at 180 MPH+ and impervious to extreme cold as proven in Canada winters -25F. Mating surfaces must be super clean.
