BestopSupertop for Truck 2 - '09-10 Ram 1500; '11-21 1500; for 5.5 ft. Bed; w/o RamBox

I got this so that the dogs would have a place to ride when we take them camping. It works great for that, and so much more. We also were able to store luggage, souvenirs, anything that is too tall for a tonneau cover but still needs to stay dry. It is easy (though admittedly, inconvenient) to access from the side panels or back panel you just need to unzip. I am able to fold it down to regain full use of the bed in about 5 minutes, very easy to do. The initial install was not too bad, my son and I were able to install it in about an hour and 15-20 minutes. It is a fairly straightforward process.In a heavy rain, water will seep in at the corners, but that I am sure is due to improper adjustments by myself during install - the design of the top is actually very good. I did not make any adjustments or tightening after I actually installed it so I am sure that is a problem that can be easily resolved.Overall I would definitely recommend this I am very pleased with the purchase.

No matter how you try to square this thing up it will not fit right. The back flap, never stays latched. The stitching is terrible. The zippers are cheap quality. Customer support is ineffective. Only thing I can think of is the frame ia engeneered incorrectly. I have taken the canvas back off numerous times and measured each piece to ensure they match and this thing still will not square up. Wish I would have went with my gut and other 1 Star reviews I saw before purchasing but nope.. I had to be the 1 % that always thinks everyone else doesn't have what it takes to install things correctly but yet here I am writing a novel because I am now one of the other 1 star crowd. Looks like 1,300 wasted.... and expensive dust cover at the most. Please research before purchasing. Really would like to see detailed photos of these 5 star review installs. Notice there are never any direct pictures from directly behind the vehicle.

ease of assembly

First, when I installed this there is a gap in the front corners. The fabric is tight so hopefully these go away in time (this is with following the directions with 10” form corner)Secondly and most important, the back window is too loose and comes off of the bar very easily. I had to put a cut in the bottom middle and zip tie it to the bar to avoid it flapping. I doubt that I would lose anything with the zippers and I doubt the bar would fly out because of the corners but it still makes me nervous ( I reread the instructions about 10 times to ensure that I installed right and I did.Finally when putting the side bars together, the first was easy and the set screws fit right, on the second one both screw holes were drilled too small. I was able to tap it out to the correct size but it is frustrating to have to tapYour own holes when paying this much money. I would return this if it wasn’t such a pain to take apart and repackage it.I would recommend them altering the design on the back back and connection to the window. It does not seem to have enough support to secure it to the vehicle. Especially in cases like mine that the back window fits quite loosely. The other three sides were tight as I expected.

This product did exactly what I needed it for. We own a clothing business and go to a lot of events with our booth set up. There are times that I need to take taller items as well as times where I need a lot of storage totes kept out of the weather. I was able to increase my tote count from 6 to 15 when I changed from my tonneau cover to this one. Installation was easy, just give yourself an hour and a half to 2 hours to complete it.The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the back window is a little too loose to fully secure to the bottom bar. I have just started troubleshooting though and will update to 5 stars if I find the solution.

I never really write reviews. But i have to say i am extremely disappointed with this top. I've always had bestop tops for my jeeps and they hold up well and fit great.But this bed topper is terrible. It looks great but the fitment is way off. The canvas fits very loosely. it doesn't stay in the lower track. So every time you drive it unhooks from the bottom which allows the elements in. for $1300 I would expect something that works. I should have gone with the Softopper version.I tried to do as the seller suggested and go through bestop for warranty. Customer service has replaced all the canvas for the top and it still continues to happen. I should have returned it when I could. Now i am out of the return window and stuck with this thing.

Nice quality top. The instructions are crap - but, which aren’t? There are online videos of the installation that make it easier.The front window is sewn in and does not provide cabin to bed access. The rest are zippered. Back window tinted and front clear. No windows on side (which is preferable).

I have had this canvas for about a year. The idea of this is really good but close to a year. The fabric is getting looser so when I drive down the highway the back panel comes off and is now starting to take off the side panels.The canvas fits very loosely. it doesn't stay in the lower track. So every time you drive it unhooks from the bottom which allows the elements in. for $1300 I would expect something that works.
