Softopper 74

[blazer74]

Had it for a few years, decided to start the install and drill holes today.
Sure doesn’t look right, seems like the upper door surround bar should angle the other way.
Unless they put the “drivers side front” sticker on the wrong side. Haven’t found any clear pics.
Thanks, Craig

Rotate the flat tube 180* You should be able to read the "Driver Side Front" sticker while standing outside the driver door.
The tubes will kick up from the A-pillar.

Yes would seem correct but that would put the adjustment knob to the outside. Which seems odd to me also. The only way to put them up from the A-pillar and have the knob inside is to swap sides.
Thanks Craig

Set screw on the adjuster, rotate to desired position

That Orange one is clearly wrong: the B-hoop black plastic/velcro strip is backwards. The top fabric wont attach/wont form the back seal of the door windows.
OP Picture#2 is the correct orientation for the B-hoop.
But maybe I'm wrong and its a do whatever you want. No idea.

Well I’ll be, I didn’t notice that was an Allen screw. Thought it was a rivet without looking at it close
Instructions don’t mention the Allen screw or an Allen wrench in the tools required and I was oblivious.
You would think they could put that sticker right side up and on the inside.
The orange one is worse than me.
At least the instructions mention lining up the blue dots.
One of my plastic/Velcro’s is cracked at one of the screws. Have to get one of those.


Thanks again for the help guys. Craig

Yeah, that is what has me now questioning mine. But it fits... so good enough I guess.

Stickers wrong. Destructions say sticker on the inside of the drivers bar, that threw me off. Doesn't take much these days. Also just noticed it says the angle is adjustable using the knob but doesn’t say Allen screw.
