Bestop Sunshade

Bestop Sunshades: Open-Air Freedom Without the Glare

When the top comes off and the sun beats down, a quality sunshade can be the difference between an enjoyable trail run and a miserable one. Bestop — the brand that has served as Jeep's exclusive OEM soft top supplier since 1986 — brings that same engineering precision to its lineup of sunshades, giving open-air enthusiasts a smarter way to manage sunlight without sacrificing the classic Jeep experience.

The Retractable SunScreen: A Bikini Top That Thinks Ahead

Bestop's flagship sunshade product is the Retractable SunScreen (also marketed as the SunScreen series), engineered specifically for Jeep Wrangler JK and JL models as well as the Gladiator. What sets it apart from a traditional bikini top is its roll-up, roll-back design: it acts as a mesh bikini when you want it, and easily retracts when you don't — simply unhook the sunshade from the front and let it roll back and out of sight for a fully open-air experience.

Deployment is equally intuitive. For sun protection, reach above and pull the sunshade up and over the front seats, hooking it into place behind the visor. No tools are required, and there's no drilling into your Jeep's structure.

Key Features That Set Bestop Sunshades Apart

• No-Drill Installation: Installs easily without tools — roll it out when you need shade, and roll it back when you're ready for full sun.
• UV-Resistant, Durable Fabric: The UV-resistant fabric blocks heat and harmful rays while keeping that open-air feel. Fade-resistant material and reinforced edging are designed to prevent fraying and withstand the elements.
• Soft Top & Hard Top Compatibility: Works with most Bestop soft tops — switch between open, screened, or closed setups without removing your top. A hard top variant is also available for Wrangler JK owners running a factory hardtop or Bestop's own Sunrider for Hardtop.
• Mesh or Solid Fabric Options: Available in mesh for filtered sunlight or solid Black Diamond fabric for full shade and added protection.

Why Bestop for Sunshades?

Every Bestop product is manufactured in the industry's only OEM-certified soft top factory in North America, using the same engineering, testing, and fit standards that go into factory-original equipment. That heritage matters when it comes to sunshades: the precise fitment Bestop has refined over decades of building Jeep tops translates directly into a sunshade that sits correctly, deploys cleanly, and doesn't flap or sag on the highway or the trail. Bestop brings 70 years of soft top engineering and OEM-trusted fit to every bikini top and sunshade in the lineup.

Whether you're cruising a sunny boulevard or picking your way through a rocky canyon, a Bestop sunshade lets you keep the top off and the sun at bay — on your terms, on your schedule.
