I got two extra clamps from bestop to solve this problem...has never came loose since

 

Look in my build thread and you can see it...Post #3 (in my sig)

 

that's a good idea. Bestop actually just sent me a new strip of Velcro for the new truck. It wasn't staying down with old stuff any longer. I was going down the highway on a windy day and it gave in and was smacking the hell rear window. I thought it was gunna break the glass. Anyway I love my bestop. I only keep it on during summer camping season. It's very easy to remove/install. It looked complicated at first. I actually called some dealer that sold and installed them to see what installation would cost and they quoted like 350.00. Yeah I decided to try and install it myself and it was soooo simple. Tho I never did install the third brake light. This is the only pic I have with it on the new truck.

 

Where did you get it for 500 cheapest I have seen is like 700!!

 

lovin how that besttop looks! i've got the softtopper and love it! their both pretty sweet looking they've got their own individual pro's!!! dont mean to hi-jack your thread but here's my baby! before my color-matched grille... [/URL]

 

I got it from these guys www.streetsideauto.com There was a promo code but it does not work any more. You can try it the promo code was Vette.

 

Thanks Fixed. I will try later!!

 

I just got one from StreetSideAuto for $472 shipped, no tax. There's a promo code that I found via Google.

 

Here are some img of the Bestop folded down as requested.

 

Not to hi jack your thread either but I would like to know more about the eezi-awn? How does that thing work? Does it fit under the bestop?

Also I had a softtopper on my F-150 and liked it OK but hated the velcro on it especially on the tailgate. You had to unvelcro it to open the tailgate. Looks like the supertop doesnt have that problem.

 

Im not trying to hijack your thread but I would like to know more about that eezi awn? how does it work and can you put the bestop up with it in the bed?

As for soft tops I had a Softtopper on my F-150 about 2 years ago and i like it other then all the velcro especially on the tailgate. Idk if they have fixed that but the bestop looks nice cause you can open the tailgate with out having to undo anything. It is also cheaper and has the windows. It would be sweet if they made solid canvas (topper material?) replacements for the windows for winter use. I might just have to get one thanks for the info and good pictures

 

I'll be ordering mine soon. I can't wait.

 

Just made my order!!! I can't wait to get it. I'll post up pictures once installed.

 

guess i'm the only one that went with a softopper, after owning several jeeps, i wanted to get away from the jeepish look. Soft tops are super versatile. softtopper has no windows.

 

Just installed mine yesterday, and I am loving it! Very simple installation, and the leaks from the corners are minimal as stated before!

 

My wife and i have got it down! We can slap mine up in about 10 minutes... but since its hunting season its gonna stay on through winter.

PS - i've had my for over a year and havent had any problems.

 

So by looking at the pictures of it folded down, I'm guessing I could easily still keep my tool box and still have the mounting rails of the soft top next to or under the edges of the tool box? Heres a pic to show how much room I have on the sides and back of it. The Thule bars would have to be removed of course.


Definitely like the look of the Bestop and Softopper.. just want to make sure it will work.
