Softopper third brake write-up

The only spot I found the need for silicone with the partsam light is around the bolt holes. I just filled mine with clear silicone from the outside. No need to loosen or anything. I've had mine on for over a year and no water issues on the light or getting into the topper from that area.

 

I'm adding this mod to my list for my softopper, looks good. Now to decide which type of light I want to use...

Did you drill through the softtopper to attach the 3rd light to the bar? I installed my topper yesterday and followed your instructions for the brake light and all worked great!! Right now i rigged the light on the inside hanging from the bar and you can see it through the window.

 

I just cut a slit big enough to slip the wires through.

Looks like Softopper came out with one with long wires that velcros on to the outside of back panel

if only it was smoked.

not sure how they attach it to the velcro strip. If it’s just glued and screwed on.
In which case maybe any other universal better looking light could be made into such a thing. Ie smoked
