Re: Dual Top Option
LOL Frank - it comes with an instructional video these days!
Damn spiffy!
But because of it's newness it is stiff and not worn in yet.
It'll get there eventually. Soon it will be time for a bikini anyway.

:I have to laugh at the 'new' tops.

: the poor soaking person in their TJ even has the frame up for the
: windows. Then they have to still fight those zippers to put them in....
:
: There is such a thing as 'too much' engineering..... Those design fools
: need to actually work on what they 'create'....
A F-ing-MEN Mike! My CJ was MUCH easier. The other thing too is I have this
new thing called a Sunrunner, it folds back just part way so that you get
soprt of a moonroof effect. Now if they had been THINKING it would have
folded UP like a bikini easily, not the other way around.
Anyway, it's on for now and will be fine.

: Mike,
:

that

The

: last. I don't much miss "stainless" snaps, with rust stains streaming
from
: every one. ;^)
:
: Earle
Now, I know you will disagree with me here, but after convertibles, I think
that a power top would be great and they aren't THAT heavy.
Trouble is, where would you put all the crap?
Another idea, shot in the ****.
