soft top

[MidSizeMe]

Can someone post up some pics of how the soft top on a jeep mounts to the windscreen frame, i want to make a bikini top for my MWB cruiser and would like to get some ideas on how it all fits together, thanks

I will do that, i don't think that they will be to happy with me pulling apart a jeep just to take photos of it, thats why I asked here first, anyone have any idea how much the clip that holds the soft top on is worth?

on the front of my cj7 there is a alloy chanel with a c shape opening on it on the front of the window frame that the soft top slides through you can buy it at some hardware shop or try a aluminiun dealer ie.capral or a place that sell stuff for yacths its not dear to buy ,the soft top has a thin rope type pice sewing in thats slides through the c opening where the hole front of the soft top slides a cross holding it in place.

thinking of any chance of some pics to get a bit more of an idea of how it works

Wrangler soft tops screw on to the header rail unless you buy an Austops one which clips on with stainless steel clips.

My viking top is different and uses a channel that the front of the top slides into but it's a bit noisier on the hwy. Jeeps are mechano kits i reckon ;)

Sorry for Hijacking the post but I can't post new threads yet:cry: !

Does anyone know where I can buy a new soft top and/or half door skins for my tj Wrangler online or mail order that isn't going to cost the earth?

Thanks
