Looks like a '73-'75 Blazer Soft Top is Available from SoftTopper!

Just got an email back from Suzy at SoftTopper who says they do have them instock and ready to ship. She emailed me the install instructions in PDF. Looks like a good quality top.

Might have to break down and get one for my K5. Just getting tired of worrying about rain every time I go somewhere (and not being able to drive my K5 at all due to threat of rain).
 
That front header can't be in front of where the hard top mounts, could it?

Would look hideous if you put your hardtop back on.

Hope i am just missing a detail here.

I'm pretty sure the front lip of the hardtop will cover that row of snaps. It hangs over pretty far. I'll have to look at mine at home.
 
I have about 1/2 inch from my windshield rubber to my top....

Looks like the snaps go right up to the rubber

looks like in at least my application you would be able to see about half of each snap
 
Has anyone installed one of these on a newer blazer? I have a 1990 k5 and would love to install one of these. Any help would be great!

It sure looks like it would be visible. That's the one thing that has stopped me from buying so far.
 
I figured that would be the case, was wondering if anyone has done that to a 77-91 k5. I would like to make mine a full convertible and try and use on of these tops.

Most people I've seen on here that do the full top conversion will salvage the top quarter of a windshield frame from a junk '73-'75 and then graft it onto the windshield frame of their later model Blazer. But if you're using the soft top alone you may not have to do that.
 
I was hoping that someone had done that and had some tips so I wasnt the first one...haha....I really want to go full convertable but still want a top of some sort. And I dont have a 73-75 doner rig available. So if anyone has some good advice or tips its appreciated. Thanks Craig for your help.
