I'm looking into getting a Best top for my '13 Access cab. I live in upstate NY and see a lot of snow. Anyone had one of these tops for a whole and how do they handle cold/snow?

Thanks

I had a best top for a while. The only thing is during winter you must be careful with the side "windows." I tried to zip up the windows back on the truck (I had to pull on them) and the zipper was ripped off of the soft top. That's the only thing for me anyway. The top handled the weight of snow on top fairly well.
