Soft Toppers & Winter

I picked up a Bestop Supertop this spring for my truck and love it.

Ive had it on the truck all spring and summer. Summer is over and its starting to get colder out. Im located in Pittsburgh PA, so the temperatures are all over the place over winter. Some night drop to -10*.

How prone are these to fall apart over winter? I know most Jeep soft tops become brittle and shrink and crack once the temperatures drop. My girlfriend has a JK, and we always take the soft top off before winter.

I use the truck for hunting and fishing a lot, so I am constantly unzipping/zipping the rear window to get gear in and out of the bed of the truck. Im worried about cold shrinking the top too much to get the window shut once its opened or the window cracking when rolling it up.


My question is, how many of you guys remove your soft toppers on for winter?

If you do, have you noticed anything detrimental?

 

ANyone else?

 

Doording is from the Great White North so I think he probably has it down.
