Blazer soft tops
Who has one of these? I have checked out the Kayline website and I dont like the looks of the snap on top. Looks cheap and the angle of the back window is all wrong. Cant really see what the other type looks like. Are there any other manufacturers. Could someone post some pics. With the top up and the top down. Im sure that there are alot of us that would be interested.

Specialty Top Company bought out Kayline and has the fasttrac top that has a vertical back window. Also Besttop now offers its tiger top for the blazers that look pretty good. I'd be interested in hearing about the soft tops as well. You may ask over at CK5 and probably have a good chance at getting a response. I've heard the fasttrac is O.k., but the fabric is quesionable and it does not seal up very well around the windows.

Kayline is STC. The folded the company then reopend as STC. It's the same people making them, same people managing the place.
Here is a review I did on the FastTrac. http://www.coloradok5.com/stcreview.shtml My header is a little different. The rain gutter complicates things. I have heard people have some problems getting a good seal at the corner of the windsheild on the 69-72's and I hear that about all the tops made for the truck. On my 75 is seals good. I do have an issue where the rain water will wick into the threads at the corner up there. I put some seam seler used for tents on it and it cured it. It took it about 8 months before I had the problem. My full cage interfers with folding. when there isn't a problem the whole thing hangs into the cargo area behind the back seat out of the way.

My top came from Best top. It does not keep the water out. I am looking to replace it also. Was thinking about trying to find it in white. This hot Texas sun sure heats up the black. I have ac, but doesn't help much when it's 110 outside. I don't drive in the rain anyway, I figure she's a sunny weather kinda truck. The big tires make it hydroplane.
