I have had one for two years and love it. That said, I wouldn't spend the money for one if I had a factory soft top. No need to spend the money if you already have a soft top...

I have one... After some very minor adjustments, it doesn't leak a drop in the worst rainfalls. Easy to put up and take down. Looks good when up.

Up:



Down (rolled up behind back seat):

I got mine and I don't have any problem with it. It works as claimed. But I don't use it much as it is not practically easy to it on. After I have done it for about 10 times, it still takes me at least 20 to 30 minutes to put it on. Another con of it is it almost one piece. You can remove the rear window.


I now use the two front parts of my hard top together with a windjammer (about $100) and it works really well. Easy to remove piece by piece and put it back.

If I knew that before I wouldn't spend more $500 for it as it is now collecting dust in my storage room. Just the hard top from and a windjammer, would give me enough flexibility.

You can indeed just remove the rear window. If you roll the top back, lower your windows (or remove the doors), and remove the rear window you have a great open feel. I'm not sure what you're doing, it takes me exactly 5 minutes to remove and 5 to reinstall. It rolls up nicely and stows behind the front seats for emergency installation in case of rain.

I think you will love it! I plan on selling/trading my hard top for it actually. I love my hardtop, but it's a pain to take off and put on since I live alone and the garage I am in is controlled by the landlord and he won't let me make a hoist for it so after reading a couple of threads the softtop or trektop will do just fine in the winter.
