I've only heard complaints of how the door windows seal around the top. Otherwise seems to be a solid product.

I have one. I had to redrill the mounting holes for the top rail the fit my body. The windows don't seal completely, but I think that would be difficult to do no matter what you do.

I think it's a decent top used with it's parameters..

I'd also like to see the side windows with a zip out option, so you can leave the top on (as a bikini of sorts) for us bald guys that don't need a tomato head

I never liked rolling up the sides, it always scratched the plastic window all to hell. Had many jeeps that did that, then got the Rubicon with it's zip out windows, that was the cat's meow

wonder if a custom shop could add zippers for the windows, that would be pretty cool. gotta pull the trigger on this one, it's starting to get cold and we are even getting a little rain in SoCal. Since the daily driver is down and well it would be cheaper to get a top and drive ol trusty for a while. OK, Im doing it!

Zip out windows could be added by a quality upholstery shop, but what little checking I did, the cost was nearly as much as the top costs.
If I were to pull the trigger, I was going to see if Softopper themselves could add the zip out windows, as I figured it would be more cost effective and cheaper as an end product if it were done during the construction of the top. Don't know for sure.

I would think a place like that would want to be a sponsor here, and answer some of these questions. Subject seems to come up alot, and that's coming from someone that doesn't frequent the site as often as some do.
