Bikini Tops for Jeep CJ5
Traditional Style by Bestop – Sun Protection for Open-Air Drives (1976-1983).
Why a Bikini Top Is the Open Alternative to a Full Soft Top.
A bikini top is the minimalist alternative to a full soft top: it covers only the area above the front seats, shielding driver and passenger from direct sun while leaving the sides and rear open – ideal for anyone who wants to enjoy the Jeep CJ5's open-air character without giving up sun protection entirely. The textured vinyl becomes brittle over the years from UV exposure, fades in color and cracks along the seams, and the footman loops on the windshield frame can loosen or be missing entirely if a hardtop was previously fitted. Anyone switching from a hardtop to a soft top needs to add these loops first before the bikini top can be mounted.
