- Rampage TrailView Soft top for Wrangler JK Unlimited 2007-2017
I’ve been in love with convertibles for years. On the sport car side, my 1994 BMW 325i provided open skies at the touch of a button. The old 1978 Suzuki Samurai snapped on and off with relative ease and stored easily - at least that’s how I remember it.
Enter the soft top from my new (then) 2015 Jeep Wrangler JKU. Painful is how I describe it. Opening the sunroof is a two-man job involving getting out of the Jeep. Removing and re-installing the windows is a chore and storing them is always a concern. Unlike most convertibles, whose tops disappear when retracted, the JKU top sits over the tailgate like a discarded accordion.
And if you are concerned about height, it adds another 3 cm over the hardtop. Look out parking garages.
No wonder Jeepers dream of a better soft top. The Rampage Frameless TrailView caught my eye with the claim of a one handed retractable sunroof. Other attractive features were the tinted rear and side windows (with their own storage space and remove to create a Safari Top), UV and mildew resistant 30 oz sail cloth, and a great aerodynamic fastback styling.
The quality and design are superb. Driving down the road with the sunroof open it remains securely in place even at highway speeds. With the sunroof closed, interior noise is comparable to every soft top on every vehicle I’ve ever owned. We hadn’t had significant downpour by deadline so we did the next best thing - drove through a high-pressure touchless carwash. I’ll admit I was nervous as water blasted at the Jeep from unnatural angles. It’s not often that torrential rain comes at you horizontally. The good news is not a drop entered the Jeep.

What about dropping the whole top? How does one go fully topless?
On the highway my sunroof will flip up as wind catches under it. How do I secure it?
Nice stuff
Mine would of leaked during that car wash for sure. Not good for if it rains. There is a huge crack between the windshield and the softtop that shows light through it when closed. No way thats gonna stop water.
My rampage softie is so much louder than this. Did I install this wrong or something ?
Is this the off-road media legend they call Perry Mack?
