Let's See Some Softoppers

True, but I wouldn't really want to put my dog back there with the windows removed. I love my dog, but she is kind of dumb and would jump out the first time she sees a cat or squirrel. If your dog has no problem staying in an open bed, then go for it. Not much wind protection on long trips either.

 

Can you post a shot of the mounting locations? Trying to figure out how it attaches with glass. Was told it wouldn't lay flat but yours looks good!

 

exactly. I haven't slept in my softtopper yet... but plan to for the Rock Therapy trip in May out in Moab. If it's nice I'll just put the mesh rear in... but I'm hope'n to be able to buy the "doggy door" front which would help too. though honestly even if it rains don't think it'll be too bad with everything down. I think it'd only be uncomfortable if it was a hot night.

 

Nope did not know that... the only time I've been to Moab was in the winter on my motorcycle... and dust wasn't the issue


Thanks for the heads up!

 

^that's a beautiful picture! brave for riding through that!

 

this one was worse (northern Navada)


off...





I just e-mailed softtopper to see if they know if it's possible to dye a softtopper... the previous owner bought a grey one and it's faded and kinda dingy... figure I'll clean it and then try dying it but unsure if it'll work with the topper being water repellant. anyone know?

 

I doubt it. If I remember correctly, they are vinyl coated which would not allow the dye to permeate the fabric evenly even if if it is really worn. That would be really cool if it was able too be dyed though. Post the response from softopper when you get it please.

 

Yeah just checked their site says PVC coated so I'm sure I'm SOL. but I'll post up when they reply anyways

 

I have never seen a front window "doggy door" for the softopper
Got a link? and my windows have dog nose prints and lick marks everywhere too...

 

I'm curious too, mine is more OD. Green than grey. I want to dye mine black

 

I can not get the wrinkles out of mine either. No matter how I move it around.

 

Here's the dog window option... don't see it on their site anymore so maybe they stopped making them... I sure as hell hope not.

 

That has to be upside down, but it looks like my front window

 

why do you think it's upside down?

 

Cause the bed liner is on top of the picture and the mirror is on bottom.Mine has snaps and a flap on bottom also

 

huh... maybe just displaying that way for you... cause the mirror def isn't on the bottom for me... and the tan part with the 3 snaps is on bottom (clips hanging above the window)

but yours looks like that? does the center section not roll up individually? looks like those clips are for the center section only

 

Thanks for the info guys. Still not sure which way to go. They both seem relatively easy to fold down, which I expect to do often- maybe easier with the softopper because you don't have to take out and store windows. I really wish the Bestop had mesh inserts for the windows. It would be a no brainer then. I know I saw mesh rear window for the softopper though.

 

yeah good luck! post up when you get yours be interested in what you decide on

 

Yes, and here is a screen shot, mine is defiantly showing the picture upside down.

 

WTF? That's crazy
