Re: Soft Topper, whose got em n how do u like em

I am giving serious consideration to buying a SoftTopper for my 72, but these reviews have me concerned. If not a SoftTopper, then who? I am ready to go to a shop that makes boat covers to see what they would charge me for a top.

There is no one else. Soft Topper is all that's out there. If you are seriously considering a soft top, I'd grab one from Soft Topper before they go out of production again.

I say that because companies making soft tops for these first gen blazers seem to come and go over the years....might not be around forever..

Re: Soft Topper, whose got em n how do u like em

I've got one of the last bestop's made (I think), but it is getty kind of ratty. I'll need a replacement in a few years. I know they are the only game in town, but they also look like they are better engineered and made with better quality materials. I just hope they are still making them when the time comes.
