soft top?

Mine was great for to first few years. It seemed like it didn't quite fit right though. I just figured it was a soft top for a Bronco and not nearly as advanced as the Super Tops that Bestop sells for Jeeps. Mine is now ripped and just about worthless. It has lost it's flexibility and the straps dry rotted and broke. It still keeps most of the rain off though. But, this is the main thing to remember, I have had this top for about 9 years. And for the last 2 years it has been on all year long and the truck is never garaged(it won't fit).
I think I got my money's worth. They were a lot cheaper then too.

how did the top attach to the body? did it have aluminum rails that clamped to the body then the top snap to it? dit it have a rail across the top of the tailgate so that you could still open the tailgate without too much problem?
