TJ Soft Tops (convertible type)?

I'm in need of a new TJ soft top, and I was wondering if anyone knows or has one of those convertible (moon roof) looking TJ soft tops? The one where the passenger/driver compartment flips back, yet the back seat is still shaded/covered? Opinion?
thanks, Del

a buddy of mine has one made by steel horse. i told him in the beggining not to buy from them but he did it anyways. needless to say, it is a piece of crap.

if you insist on buying a top like this id definitly stick with bestop. actually bestop is the only brand i would buy for a jeep regardless of style you need.

Thank you for the info. This is what I was looking to learn. Best top has always been good stuff for me, now I'll have to see if they make one.
thanks mucho, Del
oh, one of the things I wanted to know was how the top fastened back while traveling (does it flop around; is it wind tight; etc.)?

Mine's a YJ but the concept is the same. The top you are referring to is a "Sunrider" from Bestop. I've had mine for about 5 years now and love it. When the front portion of the top flips back, you can just let it sit there (slow travelling) or take the time to use the velcro straps to hold it down. I've travelled at highway speeds with it back and have had no issues with it flopping around or becomming a sail.
