    Looks pretty cool especially for the weather we're having lately. Too bad it doesn't fit a little better. Oh well make the best of it and enjoy 😉

    When u put hard top back on what do u do with the screw holes that are drilled into roof and sides between the roof and hardtop?

    • @JohnVHLife
      @JohnVHLife  2 роки тому

      This uses the exact same bolts as the hard top does. so you remove the soft top and the aluminum frame, then just put the hard to back on.

      @@JohnVHLife So you did not have to drill into the actual frame of the vehicle to install it? I just bought a 93 bronco and it had a soft top on it and I can see from the outside with the hardtop on it the screw holes that he used the prior owner to install the soft top. Between the hardtop and roof of vehicle

    Hey john liked the video, quick question.. how do you think the top will hold up? Especially if left outside for a summer. Thanks

    I have a Softopper on my '79 Bronco and while it fits the truck well and performs well when installed, it falls short in design when needing to retract the top. There's no way to easily stow the top witihn the truck if it's not needed and basically needs to be completely removed if driving the vehicle without it. As this is often my use case, I feel that it could've been designed with that feature in mind, to truly make it a great top, both on and off the vehicle. Not a whole lot of options, though.

    Great vid...everyones corners seem to look like yours...you'd think they'd upgrade the design by now. Hey what roll bar do you have?

      Yep, its in the video description. It took over a month for them to get ahold me, gave me some pits on the fit and straps, and sent me the missing weatherstrip.

    Thanks for the Video. I just ordered one for my 79 about 3 weeks ago and wondered why there wasn't any install videos for best broncos ever made! Not really looking forward to the struggles you had product quality and customer service. Did you ever finally get in touch with them and get your issues dealt with?

    • @JohnVHLife
      @JohnVHLife  2 роки тому +1

      Agreed, thats why I made one! Nope, Never a reply to the multiple emails, phone calls or FB message yet, pretty disappointed in them, Its a beautiful product, hopefully they will pull their head out of their rears and fix this customer service nightmare.
