I just scored on a soft top for my blazer!!

the person i bought it from said its a best top with safari role up windows. does anyone have instructions on how to install it? I also want to make sure all the mounting hardware is there.

and i also got it for $40.00 and its in great shape!! the person i bought it from said he only used it to go to moab and it was on for maybe 3 months and thats it.

Its a early christmas present

That is a killer deal!
I gave $200 for mine off Craigslist & just thought that was a good deal.
I've seen them go for as much as anywhere from $500-700.

jonesky2 · 11-18-2011, 01:12 PM

yeah i was totally siked when i saw it on my local classifieds! but there is a downfall, im missing some parts for the mounting hardware does anyone know where i can get them?

jonesky2 · 11-18-2011, 01:45 PM

Im missing both bow couplers, both horizontal rod bracket, both bow mounting bracket, both 1" footman loops things, and both 1" plastic rod cap.

Im really happy with my find. I got it last night but i wasnt able to unfold and look at it, today i was able to and i couldnt believe how good of shape its in. Here are some crappy cell phone pics.

pretty wrinkled im hoping wants i install it next spring/summer it will straiten out.

this gives a little better idea, this is how the overall condition is.

Great Deal! Check out a boating supply store like Boat US for a possible source for your connectors and fittings. Large marine stores usually carry a variety of fittings for convertible tops. An upholstery shop that makes convertible and boat tops might also be a source. You saved yourself about $850 over a new Colorado top which is the only game left in town.
