Got a lead on a decent used black one. All parts appear to be there, no tears, clear vinyl windows look good, some stains. What do yall think its worth? New is $979 without shipping. Theyre are to find but dont want to over pay. Thanks!

Who is the Manufacturer? Is it an old Bestop (snaps everywhere), Kayline (fastrack without snaps), or one of the newer offerings (Softtopper?)

I’ve heard they updated the design recently. I have one that is about 2-3 years old and I’ve seen differences.

Yeah they aren’t a bad top. The issue I have with mine is the door catches when you close it. I’ve seen solutions. Other than that it’s a nice top and does what it is intended to do. I’m just glad there’s an option when the hard top is off.

Good deal, the glass catches the top flap that would cover the door glass or in other areas around the door? I will not have a hard top and was only going to run a bimini but after thinking about it withthe pop up showers we have where i live a soft top is a must. Glad i found one used and don't have to pay that new price tag. thank you for your reply sir

It catches the little rubber channel on the top back side of the door on mine. I usually unbutton it from the rail there when I close it. It doesn’t help though if you’re in the truck.
