MasterTop Soft Top Bow

MasterTop Soft Top Bow Assemblies: Factory-Quality Hardware for Your Jeep

The soft top bow system is the unsung backbone of every Jeep Wrangler's open-air experience. When those bows bend, corrode, or simply wear out after years of trail use and weather exposure, no amount of premium fabric can compensate for a compromised frame. MasterTop built its reputation on understanding exactly this problem — and their soft top bow assemblies reflect a brand philosophy centered on OE-grade materials and real-world durability.

Factory-Style Fit Across Wrangler Generations

MasterTop offers Factory Style Bow Replacement assemblies covering a wide span of Jeep Wrangler generations, including the YJ (1987–1995), TJ (1997–2006), JK 2-Door (2007–2018), and JKU 4-Door (2007–2018). These kits allow owners to easily replace worn-down soft top hardware with a complete, factory-style bow assembly that includes all necessary components — including new door surrounds — for a full hardware restoration.

Each TJ-specific complete replacement bow assembly includes door surrounds, bows, a factory-style windshield header, and a tailgate bar , ensuring nothing is left to chance during the install. For YJ owners, the kit includes complete bow assembly, side rails, snap rails, and adjustable spreader bars that allow easy tension adjustment for different weather conditions.

Thoughtful Engineering Details

MasterTop doesn't just replicate factory hardware — they improve on it. The TJ bow system uses quick-release knobs to unlatch the bows for easy fold-down, and incorporates an oversized fold-back sunroof feature to let the sun in on warm days. For JK and JKU models, the factory-style replacement is designed to match original factory specifications, ensuring a perfect fit and smooth operation, with a quick-fold bow design featuring a convenient quick-release mechanism.

Heavy-duty brackets and bows feature a tough powder-coated finish that resists rust, corrosion, and wear — a critical upgrade for Jeeps that regularly see mud, water crossings, and the elements. The spreader bars have been reinforced to better handle the stress of daily use, and the tailgate bar has been enhanced with a tube seal and sealing "shelf" that provides extra rain protection when the tailgate is closed.

Based in Golden, Colorado, MasterTop's owners and staff have years of experience in the Jeep factory and the original equipment soft top plant — experience that translates directly into products built from premier-grade materials and positioned as the best value in Jeep soft top hardware.
