Single wall or Double wall????

Can somone tell me which top is better or maybe the difference in the single and double wall tops. I know that one mounts from the top and one from the bottom but is one better than the other?

single wall from what i have heard is better, lighter and doesnt make as much noise, double walls tend to squeek.

Single wall is nice if you have interior panels, you don't have to take them off to remove the top.

yep, that's the exact reason I got one.
It's a PITA everytime to remove the inner panels especially with a roll bar in the way, not to mention everytime you handle them you take the risk of DAMAGE!

Singles are harder to find though...

Singles have two dome lights in them also!

In the California area singles seem to go for a mint, $500 and more (saw one on Ebay go for $1,000). Everywhere else a few hundred, but there are deals out there.
Double walls are pretty cheap. I just took two to the dump, I tried to give them away, no one wanted them.

VT, thanks for the info. I removed the top on the Blazer I just bought and thought it was a double wall for how heavy it was. But now I know it is a single. Any one have a pic of a double wall?
