Re: BEWARE of Slick Tops/California Tops
Price is not the issue, and it's not about "cutting corners". Bestop
doesn't make a halftop for a CJ-7. Slick Tops does (or claims they
do). Slick Tops appears to have some pretty cool designs, but the
picture on their website is as close as you'll ever get to one.

Bestop replacement seats WAS: BEWARE of Slick Tops/CaliforniaTops
Has anyone had problems with Bestop low-back seats? My replacement
low-backs are less than two years old and all the stuffing in the seat
back is heading south. Leaning back I get the metal seat frame in my spine.
