Re: where to buy soft top parts?

I was going to let my besttop go to the trash. Parents are moving then seeing you buy your top made me want to get mine fixed. I checked my parts and I am missing the brackets that hold the hoops and the ones for the top of the door frames. I was going to get a member to post measurements. But these were my thoughts. The brackets that hold the hoops are pretty standard. I would think theres not much difference from the ones best top stills sells. I wouldn't think it would be cost effective to have multiple brackets. Also the brackets had 3 holes 1 more than you need so thats why I think they are universal. If not boat canopys use the same type. |

Re: where to buy soft top parts?
I'd call Bestop and confront them directly. Email is easy to "overlook".
pound41 - I wouldn't trash the top. Since nobody is making them anymore, it's worth something to someone, even if they have to get new vinyl made from the old top.

Re: where to buy soft top parts?
Like Bouncy said, call Bestop. I ordered some parts from them at the end of last year. They told me then that they stock all the hardware for discontinued tops for 4 to 5 years after they stop making them.

If someone has a best that is no longer funtionable .I sure could use it for the pattern to attempt makeing some up .Evan if someone was to lay it out flat and make a paper pattern from it
