Finally got the weather nice enough to get the MIC top off and the new Bestop soft top on. Easy install overall if you are hands on at all. Bestop YouTube video will be your best option along with the installation manual. I’d say it was about 3 hours and a bit for me to get it on once I verified all parts were present once unpacked. Very nice tight fitting too with far superior to the awful looking factory top. It will be on from now until late October early November so not a big deal to do this twice a year in my mind.

i also put the bimini top under mine

Nice. Love the Color, sure wish us Canadians could have had option for first editions.

Would be nice but our winters can be brutal so not likely doing that.

It really is a four season top. At least try it in the miserable Canadian winter - at least for a little while until you’re convinced otherwise. I’m in FL and could argue the opposite for my MIC so I can bask in an air conditioned interior. I run safari, back window out only, roof down, etc. it’s a lot of fun to choose your roof config based on your mood.

It’s not so much for the temperature but much easier to clean the ice and snow ect off a solid surface.

Ok
Then the issue isn’t the top. You just need to move south lol

How does the noise compare to the OEM soft top?

 

[JJ Bronco]

Looks good.

A feature I would like to see added to the softop aftermarket is a way to open the soft top while still seated. you could push open the top quickly, say at a red light or something like that.

Not sure as I have the MIC top. But I drove it highway speed and not a lot louder than that. Certainly seems ok.

How do you access the cargo area when the top is completely installed? Does the rear window open somehow?

 

[calgecko]

looks good - how does the rear open up - for things like groceries and stuff?

Pull it out of the channels on the side of the window and flip it up. Like undoing the zippers up the side on an old top.

Yeah you undo the side tabs that fold into the side grooves same as side ones lock into the front and bottom groove, then simply flip it up.

That sounds like a pain but not sure how the factory soft works either. I know you said you have the factory hard top so I won't ask how it compares but is it fairly quick to open this one or is it pain enough that you'd end up ducking under it?
