STC Fastrack fold down ???
Hey Guys,
Lookin' for a bit of advice for my STC fastrack-- I just installed it (after full topless for a couple of weeks), and I have one simple problem, How is it supposed to look/hold when folded back? This may sound like a stupid question, but I folded it back for the first time the other day and am not a big fan of the look in the end -- not to mention the flapping of the canvas in the wind-- So, if it is not too much trouble-- I would like to see a couple of pics of the top down and 'folded' back.....from the top, and from the side if possible-- BUT-- On the side note-- I like the top in the safari mode with the windows out, and the fit of the top while it is on windows and all is pretty good, Thanks, Jon |

Re: STC Fastrack fold down ???
I unsnap mine from the front bow then wrap it around the middle and rear bows after laying it down. Then I put a couple bungee straps around everything to keep it tight. If I get a chance to pull the Blazer out in the next couple days I'll try to take a couple photos.

Re: STC Fastrack fold down ???
I unsnap mine from the two forward bows and then use the elastic straps above the rear window to wrap around the rolled up top and the rear bow. The middle bow then lays on top of those to hold it down. I've never had any problems with it coming unrolled and it looks neat. This is the only picture I've got that you can see the top down and rolled up.

Here is a photo of mine folded down, I take the windows out before folding it. It doesn't flap any while driving down the highway.

They are bungee straps. The hooks are on the bottom side where they can't be seen.
