Went to the gun range. First time rolling up the softopper in safari mode. Complete new look and functionally.

Driving with the top up was very noisy. Got some roll bar padding and installed it between the top and roll bar. Lots quieter.

Used gray ones as to not stain or discolor the inside of the top. Wanted some color ones to match the paint. Cut down the flapping sounds dramatically

That's pretty much how my top stays 90% of the time. I have Driven 70 mph no problems. Make sure to double loop the rear straps to keep them tight at the buckle. Mine loosened up on the freeway once.

Got these battery terminals on eBay. Heavy duty and great price. Gonna upgrade to mechman alternator. Provides places for different wires with alen wrench connections.

At 70mph is it loud inside? I could not hear my girlfriend talk.

Pretty sure i have my rear straps installed bass acwards. Need to correctly install them.

Machine gun mount would be a great look!

With top rolled up, It's about as loud as an older convertible car. Mostly wind noise, very little flapping noise. When I had bare floors the wind noise was amplified, kind of bounced around in the cab. But with the carpet in now, it's similar to having all the windows down on our 2019 pacifica.

With the top buttoned up, and my carpet installed, I was able to talk to my wife comfortably and hear the kids in the back seat.

My only concern is the front windows. Not sure how it will keep water out if it rains. The top flap covers the window well. But the rear side goes behind the window.

Have not tried mine in the rain yet. Driving down the road or just sitting. Ive been careful at the car wash. Been raining daily in San Antonio. Time to test it out!
