Let us know how the install goes!

I’ll pay more when it’s carbonized gray and not black. Unless you are pre-planning for it to fade to gray??

IMO - this is more an issue of Ford’s choice to make the MIC (Molded in Color) choice as gray. It should be black plastic. Majority of all aftermarket soft top materials are black.

I know that I personally plan on coating my MIC whenever I procure one - somehow in black. Whether it’s paint or otherwise.

Anderson Composites looks like it may actually be black. Once they hit customers - which I hope is soon - that will be my deciding factor on which direction I go.

Can anyone who installed this speak to the complexity and install time of the install? I am considering this for seasonal use in the summer. But if the install/uninstall is too complicated I may pass on it.

Install is super simple. Nothing complicated at all. Will take a couple hours the first time. Here is my install.

Bestop. Any plans for a better match to the carbon gray top color? They may get me over the 1500 dollar hump.
Thanks

I would order today if available in Carbon gray.

I purchased this duffel bag to store this top until I'm ready to install it. It's well made and sturdy enough to hang in the garage during the winter months.

@Bestop_Team I had my Skyrider on for a day before the little rivet on the end of the tension cable broke off, on the passenger side. I noticed it because I started getting a strange rattle at 50 mph coming from the top and upon inspection the tension on the passenger side was not the same as driver side. The cable sucks back into the seem when the top is closed without the end rivet.

I need some help. I own a 22 Bronco Raptor and I spoke with Bestop about the fit. They told me the reason they exclude the Raptor at this point is only because they have not tested it yet.

It looks to me that i could easily install the Raptor cross bar overtop of the Skyrider bracket.

Could anyone help with some pictures of the skyrider brackets and bars with the top up and down?

I would owe you all big time! Thank you in advance. -Ernie

I don’t have exact pics handy, but my install video has some closeups of the mid brace install.

@erniecombs Actually the reason we don't make the Skyrider for the Raptor is due to the crossbar in the middle. The way we designed the Skyrider, it doesn't allow for it to be mounted in the same locations as the non Raptor, and we don't suggest nor recommend removing that crossbar for safety reasons, I apologize.

Thank you so much!!! This is great.

The last thing i need to confirm is how the rods lay down when the top is down. I feel bad asking but would you mind taking a picture?

Did you make a carbon gray version yet? Asking for a friend

Thanks Crystal. I know that this would be on me and Bestop would not support.
