The quality and ease of operation on the Stock is much better. I do totally love the looks of the Trektop though. . It is almost a 2 person job to put the Trektop back though because it flexs and bends so much more than the OEM
So the only part to this that I can def. answer for you. There are washout plugs in a Badlands Leather with carpet. We have 2 Badlands a 21 with Marine vinyl and rubber flooring. The other is a 22 Leather Lux package. Installing running boards I noticed that it had drain plugs just like my 21
It works doing it that way. The Bestop is a lot lighter and flexs a lot more than the OEM. I guess I sacrificed the regid construction for a better looking rear windows.
What you have to do is... While the top is in the upright position grab the fabric and pull it towards the rear of the vehicle. Basically the frame isn't rigid enough to support the weight of the fabric if folded back like the OEM
So I have a 21 Badlands 2.7 4dr Sas and love it. Wasn't a huge fan with the appearence of the OEM softtop so purchased the Trektop by Bestop Love the looks of the fastback style and the rear windows. a week after it was installed by the Ford dealer it was warm enough to fold it back"North...
