Which top do you prefer?
 
I am gonna have to find one, so I was thinking about which I would rather have in a perfect world. Here's my question, if it was possible to buy a brand new top, straight from the factory, would you buy a single or double wall and why? :hmm:

Single. Lighter and better built, easier to remove if you have the quarter interior trim covers. Dome lamps on the inside.

ditto. Unbolts brom the top down without removing side panels.

if i where buying it for a show vehicle i would buy a double as they look much nicer on the inside. but for everyday use i would buy a single for the reasons above

I guess I am alone here in saying I prefer the double wall top. Better insulated= less road noise. The only thing I like about the single wall top is the window weatherstripping..

Keith has a point there, the inside of a double has much cleaner lines :cool:

Who needs a top? My double wall top is hanging from my ceiling for the past 10 years.

I vote for the double wall tops, because that's what my Blazer came with originally. I agree with Kyle4381 in the sense that they are better insulated and they keep more outside noise away from the interior of the vehicle.

The double wall top that I have is going to go back on my blazer soon, but I still have to find a new rear hatch panel because my original one has a big chunk of fiberglass chipped off of one corner :( . Other than that it'll just need a coat of black paint, and removal of the old purple :confused: window tinting on the windows and it'll be good as new.
