Product Details

The Bestop Tailgate Bar Replacement Kit is an essential piece of Jeep soft top hardware for anyone looking to restore proper function to their rear vinyl window mounting system. Without a properly functioning tailgate bar, the rear window of your soft top cannot be correctly secured — leaving your interior exposed to wind, rain, road debris, and noise. Whether the original bar has been broken, lost, or has simply worn out over time, a genuine Bestop replacement gets your soft top back to full working condition.

Key Features:

  • Essential Rear Window Anchor: Runs across the top of the tailgate and provides a dedicated structural attachment point for the soft top's rear vinyl window, ensuring a proper and secure mount
  • Independent Tailgate Operation: Engineered to allow you to open the tailgate without having to open or remove the rear window, providing convenient and trouble-free access
  • Complete Installation Kit: Each kit includes custom retainer mounts with mounting screws for a quick, secure, and complete installation — no need to source additional hardware
  • Durable Steel Construction: Black powder-coated steel construction resists corrosion, scratches, and wear across all weather conditions and trail use
  • Integrated Rubber Seal: A rubber seal seats firmly against the top of the tailgate to create a weathertight barrier, keeping out dust, moisture, and wind noise
  • Genuine Bestop Quality: Manufactured to the same standards as original Bestop soft top hardware for a precise, reliable fit and long-term durability

Bestop has been the industry's leading supplier of Jeep soft tops and accessories for decades, trusted by Jeep enthusiasts worldwide for precision-engineered replacement parts that fit and perform like the originals. Multiple variants are available to cover a wide range of Jeep models and Bestop soft top configurations — select the correct option for your specific Jeep and soft top to ensure proper fitment and a weathertight seal.

Have been shopping car parts for 1996 Jeep Cherokee. This site was easy to use and understand what they were up to. Pricing was definitely competitive if not cheaper. I actually shopped other sites at the same time for the same exact parts.

Clutch not yet installed, but buying/shipping experience was frictionless.
