Re: Bikini top
looks good! Does he also make a bracket to hold it to the windshield frame?
Do you mind me asking what he charges? |

Re: Bikini top
Made mine out of a pre-1972 Jeep bikini top and had an upholstery shop modify the leading edge of it to use the same snaps that my my full soft topper snaps on. I used pre-1972 Jeep bikini because the winshield width is the same as Blazer.

Re: Bikini top
I had this bikini top on and removed/replaced it for a Softtopper. I don't have a garage otherwise I would have left it on =) I love this freaking look. However since it is my daily driver I have to worry about the rain/cold. For these reasons I bought my Softtopper.
I will take some pictures of my soft topper provided "snap/button bracket" so you can see what it looks like. When i bought the softtopper it just so happenned that the snap/buttons on the softtopper brackets happened to be the exact same spacing as the ones already drilled directly into my blazer. I usually drive with all the side/rear panels all rolled up. The full "bikini" look covering the cab all the way through to the end of the bed.

Re: Bikini top
Yeah I'm going that route as well...Pre 72 Jeep then put the soft topper snaps in to match. Any upholstery shop can knock it out.
