Default bikini removal

Ok, I know the whole duster/ bikini setup has been beaten to death, however......


I am seriously thinking about getting the whole setup but I have one question.

how easy is it to get the bikini top off for some quick sun, can you just undo the header piece and roll it into itself? or do you always have to remove everything? I dont want to have to do all the straps and crap everytime I want it off.

my ideal would be to have the whole setup and then be able to unclip the front of the bikini top, roll it into itelf so that its still attached at the back and I can cruise. seeing as I have never had one I am not sure if it will work.

I want to run: bikini,duster and wrap around windjammer all summer.

Thanks for your help!!

I rely upon a good combination of hot weather, privacy, and sufficient quantities of her alcoholic beverage of choice.

Can't speak for the duster (I would imagine the airflow would cause stresses on it still installed). The Bikini/safari could potentially be rolled up however you will be removing almost all of the straps anyway to get it rolled back if you had a strap to keep it rolled and secured. I would recomend just pulling it off, rolling it up, and putting it between the seat and wheelwell resting on the wheelwell (4door not sure if it fits 2 door). It is like a 5 min or less process to remove and install and even big fat me can do it without breaking a sweat in 10.

I have a 2 door...I want to leave the windjammer and duster on...just pull the bikini top off on nice days, or roll it up if its an option...basically, I want something that although easy is less of a process then putting up the enitire soft top. and as for the straps... if the front uses the header and the side uses the door channels... the straps should just be in the back right????


anyone have experience with this setup???

I agree, except for the privacy part, it's not always needed.

Looking at the install guide you are correct in your assumption. I also do not see anywhere that you can not leave the windjammer in place while driving. Given the rollbar configuration on the 2 door I would think if you roll the bikini up and strap it to the bar it would work fine. The 4 door with a safari is designed a little different. Now I have no experience with the 2 door and bikini just my observations. Anyone out there doing this now or can add more please chime in.

Thanks for your help...I just purchased the kit and kaboodle so hopefully it works out fine. They were running free shipping and 10% off so it was a good deal....I also got the daystar hood latches,hopefully those work and my passengers will stop freaking when they watch the hood dance.



Now...hopefully it ships in a timely manner.

Instructions
Difficulty: Easy
Things You’ll Need:

* Bra
* Girlfriend

Step1
Remove whatever shirt, sweater or dress she may be wearing, or slide your hand gently behind her back, beneath the garment.
Step2
Assess the bra situation without making it obvious that you are trying to see where everything is connected. Feel in the back first, as most bras are latched in the back. Some, however, are latched in the front in between the breasts or behind the neck if it is a bikini top.
Step3
How do you remove a bikini top? Untie around the neck and mid-back. Some bikini tops may fool you by tying around the neck, but still having a clasp around the back.
Step4
If there are clasps in front, use both hands to push the clasp inward. If the clasp does not come undone, push inward, then pull one side upward so the clasp can slide out.
Step5
If the clasps are in the back, use both hands to push each side inward to unhook. Some bikini tops also hook in the back, but the hook must be pulled up out of a loop instead of being pushed inward.
Step6
Pull bra off of the arms and away from the body. Back clasping bras will be pulled toward you, while front clasping bras you will pull off of the back.
Step7
Celebrate. Act like a pro, as if you knew what you were doing the whole time.


Tips & Warnings

* Hug her when you are unclasping the bra from behind. It makes your movements less choppy and obvious.
* Study the bras in a department store. Observe the different types of clasps and styles.
* Buy a bra for her as a gift, but before you give it to her, practice with it. That way there will be no surprises.
* Don’t panic and be patient.
* With a little practice, you will be able to do it with one hand.
* Always use two hands unless you are absolutely certain that you can remove the bra. This move takes a lot of practice.
* Never ask what size the bra is while removing it
