Re: 69-72 K5 Bikini Tops

Can anyone supply a pic looking from the rear and above..? So far, none of the pics posted show how the cut is in the back, is it a v shape or curved, etc..

Hello and Merry Christmas.
I’m just seeing this thread, and I’m interested in a bikini top for my 1970 K5 4WD.
Do you have any photos, and are you still making these?
Thanks so much
Craig

Re: 69-72 K5 Bikini Tops

Does your softopper use a metal channel that "captures" the softop to hold it to the windshield header? If so, this top might work. Your top doesn't use any snaps in the corner either?

Re: 69-72 K5 Bikini Tops

Okay not sure if it will work or not. Don’t really want to gamble with $200+. I’ve been looking and do love the idea. I know this style header for softoper is new but if someone has installed your top using this new header I’d be interested to know if it worked. Thanks much sir

Re: 69-72 K5 Bikini Tops

Buy the softtopper channel and have it sent to my upholstery person and I'm sure he could change the pattern slightly to work with their channel.

I already own a softoper with that channel sir. I just wanted your top for the days I don’t have the family. Thanks much

Re: 69-72 K5 Bikini Tops

I am not sure what the current price is so please download the order form above and give Harry Funke a call for a quote.

Re: 69-72 K5 Bikini Tops

I just got off the phone with Mr Harry Funke regarding the bikini tops. He is at least 60 days out (who isn't) Price has increased a bit $365. I sent him a bunch of pictures of the soft topper header piece and how it installs on the top. If I have to I will send him a header piece to work with (I don't really think it is necessary).

Re: 69-72 K5 Bikini Tops

I'm afraid his price has gotten out of line with the cost to make these tops. There isn't much to them once you have the pattern. You might consider talking to a local upholstery shop.

I have and have been quoted $6-800 by one and $1000-1200 from another (I laughed out loud and have known this guy for decades). I explained to him I bought the whole top hardware and all for $1200. With inflation, backlogs, back ordered parts and materials he is still reasonable in todays crazy market. At $365 I'll take 2! I already bout a $100 CJ7 best top bikini and its almost 12" too narrow. It "could" work as a sunshade?

Re: 69-72 K5 Bikini Tops

After many phone calls and months of waiting Harry Funke finally made my bikini tops. He does not have the material to make the attachment for the soft topper header. I told him just to do the front like I was going to do snaps and I had a local upholstery guy sew in the plastic pieces (which I purchased from soft topper) in the front to work with the soft topper header piece. All said I’m about $400 each into these bikini tops. I have been unable to find anyone else that sells these and even the local upholsterer that sewed in the plastic at the front wanted $600 to $800 each.



From the front
