I used this thread to install a bestop soft top and it worked great. Used jack nuts/nut certs for both the rails and the footman loops. Very solid and straight forward overall. Only notes are don't buy the jack nut install tool, very simple with just a screw and a washer to set, the jack nut doesn't take much torque to set, and buy a few extra of everything. It took me a while to locate the parts needed, ended up using Grainger supplies for the jack nuts and CCOT for the soft top with included footman rails. Thank you for the detailed shots above.

Great write up! I'm about to do this and had a couple of questions that you clearly answered. One question that was not covered is what happens in the fall, does the channel need to be removed to put the hard top back on?

Any channel bolted to the top of the windshield has too be removed to install the hardtop.
Will the nut-certs create an interference with the hard top?
