Kayline or Bestop Softop - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

robs71k5 · 10-06-2009, 01:14 AM

Does anyone have any pics of how the Bestop and Kayline softops came from factory installed along the winshield ? Where they snaps or 'c' extruded channel or was there something GM had rigged for the adaption . I have made I mold of my windshield and also did a part off the mold and its nealy ready to install but dont have top yet . I'm looking for a Safari type softop. I dont want the snaps in any circumstances and that leaves the 'c' channel. but I'm looking for p/n of the channel they used if thats the case. By the way this mold is now for sale and I believe it might be a good investment for Softopper or anyone affiliated with Softopper Name: IMGP1405.jpg

Nice!! You ought to contact that company - would be a nice item to have available. You going to offer some for sale to boardmembers?

Kayline and Bestop both use snaps to my knowledge (I had a kayline so I know they do). The STC Fastrac is the only one that I know of that uses a channel across the windsheild header. There are still 4 snaps with the Fastrac - one on each side of the channel, and one on each of the A=pillars just below the drip rail. I have a PDF of the STC install instructions. If you PM me your email address, I'll send it to you.
