Soft Tops For 69 to 72 Blazer

[72blazer_mud_bogger]

do any other companies make the soft tops for the 1st gen blazer or is softtopper the only one left?

Hey Guys, I have been searching on the internet for soft tops for my 72 blazer and found several companies that make them,
softopper.com, motorcityk5, and others, cost is $979
Has anyone purchased one of these. They say they are water tight, has fold down capablities, clear side and rear windows. Works in all four seasons. I was thinking about selling my hard top and buying one of these if I can leave it on all year. I only like driving it with the top down but sometimes rain gets in the way.
Let me know what you think.

I purchased one a few years ago from softopper and am really happy with it. It started on my 70 but has since been relocated to my 72. Not water tight around the door glass in my instance but not too bad. Actually works better than I would have thought before purchasing it.

I really like that top 72GMGUY. How does it handle when on the road around 60mph? Does it shake bad or anything?
Also, to everyone here, if I decided to sell my hardtop and get this convertible top, does anyone have an idea of how much the hard top would sell for?
Thanks guys, great site.

Its a great top. No problem doing 60-70mph. A little noisy but very stable.

Yep and its a nice piece... but its pricey... and im not a huge fan of fiberglass... if there is a metal solution im more game... If Robs piece is the best option thats what i'll get...
