Something I made for my soft top

[Gary 70 Jimmy]

I am going to have a new top made and I dont want snaps in my tailgate I will put one more snap in the end of the squair tube for the sides and the ones that go into the tailgate will be across the back of the squair tube. Just take out 2 screws out and pulls right out. What do you think.

One more picture.

Nice. Are you going to do anything for the windshield frame? I'm looking to get a bikini top for next summer but am not thrilled about putting snaps in the windshield frame.

Looking at building a removable snap strip by contouring a piece of square tubing to follow the top of windshield frame and using the hard top mount points as a way to attach.

I agree 100%, always hated having to drill the tail gate full of snaps.

The square stock should work great, good idea!

I did a similar things some years back but can't find the pics now, IIRC I used an old soft top side piece aluminum bracket and mounted it across the top of the gate same as your doing.

I havent thought much about the windshield frame I aready put the snaps in the windshield frame. I dont think I will ever put the hard top back on.

That looks great.

Soft Topper sells a strip for the window frame that has all the snaps on it, but only requires drilling of 5 holes to attach it. Still not ideal, but better than drilling 20 holes.

If you come up with something that works let us know.
