Soft top experience?

[RichGonn]

Hey guys, does anyone have any experience with a soft top like this? I personally love the look but haven't been able to find one like this for sale. I'd imagine the loose canvas will flap in the wind going down the road, but I'm not really a fan of the squarer looking ones. I'll probably end up going to a local canvas shop to see if they could do it. Anyone have a ballpark estimate on a price for a top like this?

A guy at work has one just like that on his bronco. I can tell you in colder weather it tightens right up and in hot it expands and loosen's. He runs his year round(even in -40 deg. celsius) and doesnt seem to have any problems with it. I believe it was made at a upholstery shop as well.

is the guys name Russ, and is it a dark green bronco. if so he lives right beside me. ive talked to him about his top and he likes it. he almost always parks in the garage in the winter time so i dont think it gets to cold in there once you let it warm up.

nah, mines a softopper fastrac...

wraenking has one like the above.. personally, I'm not a fan....


but there was someone that made one and I helped coach thru a trial process with shrinkwrap on it.. before doing it in material... it did come out pretty neat.. but it's also a bit of a different look.. his was like a straightish line from roof to tailgate, like my cage bars.. much more pronounced and round... his had ribs or a frame to it...

Sure is.

When I had the canvas back window piece on the blazer, it was fairly warm. Now with a plexi back window, its a bit warmer being the sun can get in.

how it is now, minus the light bar:
