Construction & Design

Bestop’s Upper Door Sliders are crafted with high-quality materials to ensure longevity and performance. The sliding panels are made from tempered glass, providing clear visibility and enhanced durability compared to vinyl alternatives. The frame and slider tracks are constructed from corrosion-resistant metal and reinforced plastics, designed to endure exposure to the elements and off-road vibrations.

The dark tan finish is carefully matched to blend seamlessly with Jeep’s factory soft tops and fabric upper doors, preserving the vehicle’s aesthetic while upgrading functionality. The dual sliding design allows for partial window opening, improving airflow without compromising security or weather protection.

Installation & Fitment

Installation of the Bestop Upper Door Sliders is straightforward and requires no permanent modifications to your Jeep Wrangler. The sliders are designed to fit directly onto the factory upper door frames of 1997–2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ models with 2.5L and 4.0L engines. Most users can complete the installation with basic hand tools in under an hour.

Because these sliders replace the vinyl window sections, they integrate cleanly with existing soft tops and upper door fabric, maintaining the original look and feel of your Jeep while enhancing usability.
