Let's See Some Softoppers

I am using a third gen.

 

Yea I came across the same information, I was hoping to find a used hardshell. But the change in size lead me to the softtopper so I guess I still got a good one.

 

All the time. I have an air mattress that fits between the wheel wells perfectly. Being under 6ft tall helps too. I keep all my gear in waterproof totes when I camp so I just puke everything outta the truck and inflate the mattress and call it a day.

On that, I plan on buying a smaller single air mattress so most of the gear can stay in the truck.

 

Anyone want to sell 2 clamps for a soft topper? I just pick one up and didn't have the clamps.

 

I'm on the fence regarding a soft topper purchase. Can anyone tell me about their opinions on durability. I live in PA where all 4 seasons can be extreme at times. Also, are these toppers safe to run through automatic car washes? Thanks for the help!

 

They are just like a Jeep soft top and good for all four seasons. Just take good care of it and it should last for a very long time. No on the automatic car washes per the owners manual. But it takes all of two minutes to take off and another three to put back on so no big deal.

 

Thanks @steelhd

 

Just watch the rear window. When its very cold it can get brittle and needs to be handled gently. And since its soft it will scratch easily. Like all rear topper windows it will collect dust and road grime. I carry a dollar store feather duster to remove dust but winter road grime needs to be removed with water or water and a squeegee. Frost just has to melt on its own. I think alcohol based deicers may dry out the vinyl.

 

I think I have a set of second gen clamps in the garage. Pay shipping and they're yours

 

Get one you won't regret it as far as snow goes in CT we got like 14inches and it held up fine

 

Their website says not to take it through the car wash, so I go to self serve style washes

I'm also in New England and it has been holding up to the winter just fine, tho if we get a major storm like yesterday, I clear off the topper half way through so it doesn't get too heavy. But thats just me baby-ing it

 

Yaa I did the same yesterday I'm sure it would have held it but I'm with ya on the babying it

 

Just stretched her legs in the cold up in Big Bear last weekend.

 

Found some mud!

 

Dammm do I love thee white and black combo

 

love mine. and i think they are crazy durable. mines still pretty new, and the topper is still quite taught. it can be a bitch getting those side snaps on in the cold weather. looking forward to it stretching out a tiiiiny bit.

 

If its too tight, you can move the frame down a notch to loosen it up a little bit.

 

Ya mine was hard to get em all snapped but I definitely didn't install it in 70 degree weather it was like 40-50

 

ah good call. i should try that. thanks!

 

I know it's been spoken about somewhere in here, but what are the best methods/products for removing scratches from the Bestop windows? My friend drew on the dirty window.
