just sold the hard top and ordered a new softtop

vtblazer · 09-17-2009, 06:06 AM

Post pics when you get it installed.

I'm considering the same thing, just get rid of the hard top forever...

I didn't sell mine but I have NO intentions of ever putting it back on!

**Gary 70 Jimmy** · 09-17-2009, 08:55 AM

Mine has been off for 13 years but I still have the hard top.

fun in dirt · 09-17-2009, 11:17 AM

I'll be looking for installed pics too

**Thealien** · 09-17-2009, 11:39 AM

What soft top are you getting? The new one that just came out or something used?

jimmypop · 09-18-2009, 02:15 AM

UPS man dropped my top off, but ill have to wait till Tuesday to put it on.

working all weekend

72BlckButy · 09-18-2009, 08:47 AM

Can't wait to see how it looks.

TonyJohnson · 09-18-2009, 08:57 AM

Is this the top from the place in Boulder?

jimmypop · 03-27-2010, 12:39 PM

the top fits awesome! good work and stitching. but my rail holes did not line up so i had to drill new ones, no biggie easy fix. had to drill all the holes in the windshield header, that was easy.

daddys72jimmy · 03-27-2010, 12:45 PM

LOOKS GOOD! thanks for the info.. you didnt go with the front header bar?

how come?

Thanks

blazin · 03-31-2010, 10:41 PM

i got a price to make a custom top.. $2500. how much is the production top? im pretty sure a custom top would fit perfect, but 2500 is alot of bones.

Firebirdjones · 03-31-2010, 10:49 PM

If I read the link provided correctly, this top lists for $800.

I need to call, and see if they are willing to do zip out windows for an additional cost. If so, it sounds like OrangeK5 is interested also.

blazin · 03-31-2010, 10:55 PM

800 sounds twice or three time better then 2500. i should check the link and see what material thy are made of. the custom top i got priced out, is made of a samonella.. i think thats the name.. its water, mold and stretch prof

blazin · 03-31-2010, 10:59 PM

how good does it seal around the side windows?? water tight ?

Firebirdjones · 03-31-2010, 11:04 PM

Don't know, but I'd like to see one in person to see how they are sealing the door windows. I definately don't want a couple gallons of water dumped inside when I spray it off at the car wash

It seals, ok around windows. I would consider this top as a softop and not a convertible top.

TonyJohnson · 04-25-2010, 12:26 AM

I'd be interested in one...

bigeasycigars · 04-25-2010, 05:06 PM

I'm going to see if I can have a bikini top made using the bar snaps from the softopper....Wish they offered a bikini as well...shouldn't be hard though.

bigeasycigars · 06-01-2010, 03:25 PM

Got it on finally..
