    My bestop is fairing nicely, i will say DONT FUCK WITH THE WINDOWS when its really cold; i've seen people try and fold the windows and they snap in the cold weather, i've been pushing mine up to get into the bed and i normally just lower the tailgate and climb right in to be safe, i really love my a lot though. :D


    Should be alright either way.

    I'm about to order my softopper. Trying to figure out if I could ever use the doggie door feature. Think I'll go tan on MGM.

    Helping a friend move a bed and a freezer, folded the soft topper down in -10 Celcius.

    Window seemed quite malleable, i wouldnt try and fold it on a hard crease though. the entire canvas itself has seen some moisture and extreme cold so it wasnt folding nicely at the back of the cab. so i just removed the entire frame and canvas. still impressed at the quick setup/tear down from this product!

    It was only around $900-$1000 shipped/taxes/duties to my door with an extra window AND the bag that i havnt used either. cheaper than a quality new tonneau cover and cheaper than a new canopy and more versatile than both! you cant lose! unless someone knifes... i keep my jack and shovel in the back and dont worry about it getting stolen.
