Soft top hack

Where the canvas goes over the windshield frame I glued some small bits of leather so the canvas won’t get cut, also a weatherstripping piece between the frame and the keeper strip.

I use the hardtop weatherstripping between the channel and windshield frame … this is what it looks like before the channel goes over

If your concerned about scratching the paint wound just out some.high quality electric tape on the channel. Use a awl for the seven holes for the bolts. Could do the same for the edge of the channel. Never had an issue with factory channel with my Kayline tops.

There was never any issue with my Bestop either. The Julie’s Dirt Road top is slightly different at the upper front corners. I should probably have noted that.
