    Hello. I'm new here just did a restore on my 87 4 X4 and got a soft topper. and I don't know if I'm supposed to roll the window closest to my cab of my truck up when I want to drive on freeway with panels up? Do I have to roll all the panels of the softopper up ?I don't understand if someone could help I'd be so happy thank you, I just don't want to wreck it or have it balloon up..Gracias!

    I have all the panels in my softopper rolled down like you have in your picture. With it fully assembled I can go 90MPH with no issues. And yes I can do that on 130 going into Austin off of 10 because the speed limit is 85:thumbsup:

    There is also a thread that's labeled "Let's see your softopper" that you should post that picture in :D

    Thank you Sleipnir.. someone named eat sleep tacos already showed me where to post --I'm talking about driving on the freeway with the panels rolled up? Do I have to have the back window against my truck cab up or down if I want to roll the side panels up? Thanks for anything you can help me with it's just hard to tell because they call the rear window and the front and I can't figure out what they're talking about..

    I would think you would want it up because it'll just be flapping. It should be Velcro so you can take it off and put it in the truck when the panels are up. I wouldn't recommend driving very fast with the sides rolled up because the wind would send it sailing. Drop your question in the softopper thread and someone might be able to chime in better

    yep..
    I have no idea but that's a beautiful truck. The color goes well with the soft topper. Military/utilitarian style. Welcome!
