Default Bestop Cable-Style Safari Bikini: anyone tried yet?

I think this is a new product. It is a safari with a built in header. The cable sides are supposed to grip the door surrounds like a factory top. I was thinking this would be good for the Florida summer downpours. Keep rain off the front seats and dash, and me. I think the standard header safari would probably leak a bit in our daily thunderstorms. Don't care about the back as my tub is lined. Anyone tried this yet?

I've been curious about this new style as well. You could set your watch by the rain here during summer.

So far I've put off buying one while I upgrade some other things while its cold. Would love to see someone's experience with it.

Looks like a trektop nx without the windows. If that's the case, yeah it works great.

I can WALK to the stadium in 15 minutes! And they are here now. It is a great place to visit. Fantastic beach as well. Unlike most of south Florida, Jupiter has literally miles of public beach with easy access.
