best top soft top

I just scored on a soft top for my blazer!! the person i bought it from said its a best top with safari role up windows. does anyone have instructions on how to install it? I also want to make sure all the mounting hardware is there.

and i also got it for $40.00 and its in great shape!! the person i bought it from said he only used it to go to moab and it was on for maybe 3 months and thats it.

Its a early christmas present

Re: best top soft top

That is a killer deal!
I gave $200 for mine off Craigslist & just thought that was a good deal.
I've seen them go for as much as anywhere from $500-700.

Re: best top soft top

Im really happy with my find. I got it last night but i wasnt able to unfold and look at it, today i was able to and i couldnt believe how good of shape its in. Here are some crappy cell phone pics.

pretty wrinkled im hoping wants i install it next spring/summer it will straiten out.


this gives a little better idea, this is how the overall condition is.

Re: best top soft top

Great Deal! Check out a boating supply store like Boat US for a possible source for your connectors and fittings. Large marine stores usually carry a variety of fittings for convertible tops. An upholstery shop that makes convertible and boat tops might also be a source. You saved yourself about $850 over a new Colorado top which is the only game left in town.

Re: best top soft top

PM me your address and I'll send you some of those parts. I have too check, but I think I have most of them. They're free as long as you don't sell them.
