    I'm seriously considering buying a soft topper in the next couple of weeks. Would love to see all the pics you guys have of yours!

    Do do you leave it on all the time or is it on and off as needed? I'm wondering how quickly it goes on and off.

    I only put it on when I need it. Takes 15-20 min to put on & less time to remove it. I leave the aluminum side rails on all year.

    I think you can have it off, leaving mounting rails, in five 10 minutes. You can get the whole thing off in 15-30 minutes. To reinstall I am thinking an hour, will do my first reinstall in the few days if the weather allows, as I took it off for the winter.

    One of my favorite purchases

    Need to fit something in the bed that’s taller than the topper no problem, just un clip and fold it forward.

    You can roll the sides up as well and cruz around

    Simple to remove

    The rear window will fad over a long period of time but it’s not a big deal.

    ...and, unlike a rigid cap, if it isn't for you, you can sell and get 75 percent of your investment back.

    A rigid cap will be lucky to get 30 percent back (of $2000).

    ...and, you won't be gaining a hernia taking it on and off.

    I WILL not be going back to a rigid cap.

    I don’t have a picture but I have the bestop soft top. Windows on all sides. My neighbor has the softopper like the one pictured so I’ve got to play with both. Softopper is for sure built better but I like the look of the bestop and I spent quite a bit less then my neighbor. Takes about 20 min for me to set up and 10 to take down.

    I love my topper. Back window broke this December when it was -35c. Emailed soft topper and requested a solid back window. Shipped out next day. Super good service. I personally like the solid back better than the window now that I have it.
