## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this Bestop windshield header only work with Bestop tops or will it also work with other brand tops?**
A: Works great with my rampage frameless top

**Q: Will this header work with a MasterTop bimini top part# 14700201?**
A: I contacted Mastertop about this issue for my mastertop brand on my 2003 Wrangler. They responded the following:
All the brands of windshield channels are interchangeable. It looks like everyone is out of stock except Bestop… (don’t get the OEM or supertop version)

**Q: Can u put ur top on over this**
A: No because it attaches where your hard top would

**Q: I have a Mopar soft top on my wrangler, no weather strip or seal on windsheild. Would this do the job? Wind noise and air gap are there now!**
A: The header is bolted to the windshield and has a channel in it for your top to slide into, but your top needs to have the lip on it that slides into the channel to cut out the wind and this also forms weather protection.  Hope this helps

Works like a charm on 2006 TJ

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well
*by D***W on March 8, 2025*

Almost perfect. Got this as a LPN return. Prior customer had stripped nutsert thread and returned item. I just had to rethread the nutsert and install the channel. Works perf.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked with newer TJ Windshield trim
*by C***Y on July 31, 2024*

I bought a different brand that said it worked with my 04 TJ but after receiving the plastic trim on the inside of the windshield would have to be modified. Returned and bought this one that fit perfectly without any modifications.
