My new soft-top - $6
- Thread starter Blue85
- Start date
I was thinking of doing something similar with an old Military canvas tent. Then cut off the "extra" and install snaps.

It was not 100% water tight but close. Used screw in button snaps to hold it on. And used a canvas tarp from home depot.

is it possible to get some more pictures of it? you can pm me them if you dont want to clog up this thread. is it watertight to the body or does it leak under heavy rain?
Don't worry, I'll tape the back to the tailgate before I paint. For now this is just keeping the sanding dust out of the interior.
Those snaps would sure hold it on better than my masking tape, but how would I paint the bedrails?

Only leaked at the roof line during heavy rain while driving. Sorry no other pics as this K5 no longer exists.

where did you attach it? to the roof itself or in the channel the top sits in
