    Hi everybody! Can you advise? I put the soft topper on my truck after getting color change and rust restored
    .. and it looks awesome but I don't know if I have to keep the window kept down next to the cab to drive with the sides up ?or do I have to roll every panel up? I'm going on the freeway tomorrow to pick up tires and don't want to ruin it! I have no velcro and no snaps or anything installed on either the front or back window I just put it on.Thank you!

    The very front panel towards the cab can stay down, the two sides will get rolled up, and the back has to get rolled up as well

    You could always fold it down and then you have no worries. If you leave it up, keep the sides down and roll up the rear. Without snaps or velcro in the front the front is going to blow into the bed anyhow.

    Yeah it's quite a big change! How bad was the rust? The one picture you have on there looks pretty rusty but was it all over like that?

    Hi Colin just along the sides near the gas tank it was so rested in it just ruined the truck. I was just sick of looking at it and it smelled dirty and I was just embarrassed to be in it so I made a change... You take care and thanks again for your support. I like your truck too by the way it's so new! and I bet you have air conditioning!!!
