    Hey guys I just bought a bestop supertop for my tacoma Short bed off craigslist for 350. Its brand new and its never been installed still in box. I tired to install it before the sun went down and let me tell you what a damn pain. Everything seems to be fine but it just seems to be short in the front. The velcro seems to pull off the front when I try and pull it back. What should I do.? anyone have this issue before. Thank you. ill post pics of my issues in the morning.

    Thank you,

    Ray

    The temps play a huge role and how easy/difficult the install will be... I did mine in september last year and it was kinda nippy, it was a bitch... when it's hot though, moving it around is super easy.

    Lay it on your lawn in the sun all morning and you should be ready to install and you will be fine as long as it doesn't come up one foot long. Just ordered one for myself and should be installing it tomorrow
