Once you get it....you can certainly modify it.

Or, give them a call and see if they can make a customized top just for you.

Either way...it's gonna be more than a "production" product.

These are not customized tops...so you really shouldn't expect one ;-)
I'd have to call and see if they would be willing to do it. I wouldn't mind paying extra.
What I don't want is to buy it, then run all over town looking for a shop to make it zipper windows.

I don't expect custom, but in my opinion it should have been incorporated into the top from the get go. All the better made tops for Jeeps come that way. No reason to not have it come that way for a blazer too.
Rolling up plastic windows doesn't work well after time.

Re: topless in in so cal!!!

i got a price to make a custom top.. $2500. how much is the production top? im pretty sure a custom top would fit perfect, but 2500 is alot of bones.

Re: topless in in so cal!!!

If I read the link provided correctly, this top lists for $800.

I need to call, and see if they are willing to do zip out windows for an additional cost. If so, it sounds like OrangeK5 is interested also.

Re: topless in in so cal!!!

Don't know, but I'd like to see one in person to see how they are sealing the door windows. I definately don't want a couple gallons of water dumped inside when I spray it off at the car wash

It seals, ok around windows. I would consider this top as a softop and not a convertible top.

I'd be in if we could make a deal with softtopper. Just need to decide on what color I want.

Re: topless in in so cal!!!

I'm going to see if I can have a bikini top made using the bar snaps from the softopper....Wish they offered a bikini as well...shouldn't be hard though.
