    **SOLD**

    Sold the Tacoma and no longer need. I got tons of great use out of this Softopper and it is in great shape. Conditioned regularly with convertible top cleaner. Garage stored.

    Comes with everything you need to mount, including extra (new) spare parts. Currently configured with clear plastic rear panel, but also comes with mesh screen replacement rear panel. The front panel includes cutout and extra flap for dog window (OEM Softopper product).

    Priced to sell--hoping someone gets as much use out of this as I have.

    If buyer is interested in a bed sleeping platform, I will throw in for an additional nominal fee (maybe a case of beer?). Made of 3/4" ply with carpet covering.

    Question for @pescador95 How bad was the dust and water intrusion with the dog flap window opening on the front cab window of the softopper. I ordered the kit but am reluctant to install as it seems like it wouldn't be anything close to water and dust proof. I thought about sewing additional Velcro to the other 3 sides of the flap and the opening but that just seems like a lot of work for a feature that don't really need. I also sleep on a platform in the bed and thought it would be nice to be able to reach through the window to the back seat to get into the cooler or grab other small items.

    Items SOLD.

    @CemenTRDgen -- water was not an issue when the dog flap is closed. Wasn't even really an issue when the flap was rolled up and open, at least not when you're moving. When parked in the rain I guess it could be a different story.

    Dust is also not any more of an issue than normal when you have the dog flap closed. I always had a little dust intrusion with the topper both before and after installing the dog flap. I just learned different ways to deal with it.

    I did, however, experience issues with the front panel remaining "rigid" enough to stay in place while driving at high speed after installing the dog flap. I.e. the force of the wind pressing on the front panel would tend to cave in the entire panel. I don't have any photos but hopefully that description makes sense. I was able to mitigate it by trying different techniques with varying levels of effectiveness.

    I will say that I used the dog flap less than I thought I would, though it was handy for certain things. I would honestly recommend purchasing an additional front panel that you could re-install when the dog flap is not needed. Once you make the cut in the window, there's no going back.
