Summary:
bestop aftermarket rear shell roof racks, manufactured between april 27 and may 20, designed for use with the bestop hardtop made for the 1986-1995 and 1997 jeep wrangler. The cockpit cover may not stay latched to the roof rack because the latch bracket mispositions the rotary latch to the cockpit cover.
