Re: Soft Tops For 69 to 72 Blazer
I really like that top 72GMGUY. How does it handle when on the road around 60mph? Does it shake bad or anything?
Also, to everyone here, if I decided to sell my hardtop and get this convertible top, does anyone have an idea of how much the hard top would sell for? Thanks guys, great site. |
Re: Soft Tops For 69 to 72 Blazer
Its a great top. No problem doing 60-70mph. A little noisy but very stable.

I've got one on my '71 and love it. No problem with interstate speeds. I put a header on that bolts through the existing windshield bolt holes so I didn't have to put screws in the metal. A guy on here makes them out of fiberglass. Rides a little higher in the front but no leaks either.

I just purchased one. It now comes with a header bar that you screw into the windshield header- no buttons just a fast track. It fits very nice and flush and water tight there. It also has a bar that runs just behind the driver/passengers head and the top attaches to it via velcro wrap to help prevent flapping. I think it would not flap if I didn't have the hickey roll bar. It does flap some over 50mph on the roll bar.

Here is a pic. Top fits very snug and flush with the drip rail. While installing I was like, this ugly alm strip I am going to have to take off and paint body colour. I am 5'8" After install I haven't even noticed it once except when I put the top on. I really don't see the aversion of drilling a few holes that nobody will ever see. The screws they send are stainless. If you are worried about rust there is oil for that. I had snaps up front on my last top. Can't say I like one over the other.

Ok, so you're still making holes in the windshield frame. That's something I have a problem with. I've read some guys have made a modified bar that uses existing screw holes 2 fasten the snaps to, I would love to see pictures of that.

If you get the fiberglass header you wont put any holes in the windshield frame

Re: Soft Tops For 69 to 72 Blazer
Guy's message board name is robs71k5 that designed the fiberglass header

I made one for about 20-30 bucks using steel stock. I don’t have a picture when I made it but it was pretty easy to make. It’s two separate pieces and then I just screwed their aluminum header on to connect them. You can see it under the header. If you can weld it’s a fairly quick job.

Re: Soft Tops For 69 to 72 Blazer
Thanks, that was my goal. I wanted to bolt it on using the original top mounts.

Re: Soft Tops For 69 to 72 Blazer
I wonder if you could use that JB Weld stuff to join the pieces together?
