soft top for 72 k5 blazer
 
Does anyone know where to buy a brand new soft top or a used one in good condition? How much are they going for or how much should i spend on one???

I believe Softopper is the only one left offering them. They look nice, but are pricey. If they had zip out sides... I'd own by now.

I'm not sure I'd recommend buying a used one anyway. I think the material in most soft tops will dry out and become fragile with age. Unless it's a used Softopper, you won't be able to replace the fabric.

I had a Jeep soft top that barely lasted 7-8 years, but maybe there are some higher quality tops out there.

Best of luck!

I wish Kayline or STC were still around, I have had one on mine since 05, keep her in the garage and treat the top every few weeks in the summer. Good luck with your search.

I lucked out, and found a Bestop, new in the box, locally on Craigslist, for $200. It was manufactured in 1993, lol. It's probably the nicest thing on my truck!

I bought an STC fasttrack in 2003 and I have hardly had the hard top on since then. After 12 years it needs a few repairs, mostly seams that need restitching.

Bite the bullet and buy a new one. Used tops don't come around often and when they do a lot of times they are missing parts.
