I am sure this has been asked many times before, but the only thread I could find talked about making a fiberglass lip to hold a homemade bikini top. Question I have is there an aftermarket one made by anyone or is there a different way of mounting a bikini top? I am just wanting one that goes from the roll bar to the front windshield.
 
don't know if there is one made specifically for it (kinda doubt it), but find a local boat shop and you can have one made. They make custom boat covers all the time, so something like what you need would be no problem.
 
I went to a fabric shop that also did tops for cars. Took in measurements and had them make me one out of waterproof canvas. Cos me a hundred bucks. Not to bad.
 
$100 for a custom top is a great deal! There used to be a company, Bestop maybe, that made a bikini top. That production stopped many years ago though so custom is really your only option now.
 
I had them sew in a velcro strip and place snaps every 6 inches to hold it in place. Didn't leak to bad unless it was a huge rain storm. But that didn't really matter since the rear was open. It did keep water off me and the dash witch was my big concern.
 
I just used a channel piece from a Wrangler w/ one snap on each end and it ever leaks
