Soft Top
Has anyone purchased/installed one of these tops?

They look nice and they say (they say being the key word) that the top mounts to alluminium strips that come off when you want to remove the soft top and put the hardtop back on which sounds great but do they work?

Soft Top
I installed one on an 88 Bronco. What a pain. It looks nice but the snaps come out of the leather too easily. If you plan on going topless a lot then the snaps will probably come out. Plus I had to drill over 20 holes in my truck to mount the aluminum strips. Then if you want to put your hardtop back on you have to unscrew the strips and you'll have a bunch of unused holes.
I am quite unhappy with that top, and have since sold the truck and will NOT buy that same top for my 79 Bronco.
I wish somebody would come out with a full convertible top that uses a frame that bolts into the original holes for the hard top.

I've had this top 3+years,on every April,and the hardtop back on in October and have never had a problem.If you do purchase it,follow the instructions carefully,especially when you're laying out the stripping.I would toss the mounting screws they include and buy a box of #10x1/2 s.s. sheet metal screws($5-6).I have some good pix of the top in my gallery.Good luck.
