I'm not sure how you would do this, the duster cover fits over the tub and attaches under the rails that the bottom of the soft top windows fit into.

I have a Bestop deck cover and their bikini top. I love the combo and couldn't be happier. Get it! It's worth the money. I like it better than my factory full top if that says something about the product!?

Let me be more specific. On the TJ's you could get a duster that allowed you to fold down the Top and it would cover everything up. The one I currently have for my JK will not do this. is there one that will?

Gotcha, good question. If there is one out there, I haven 't seen it. Let us know if you find one!

I run the Duster year round on my 4-door soft-top. When soft-top is folded down the Duster fits as it should, attaching under the rails. When soft-top is up the rear sails needed to be secured to prevent the soft-top and sails from flapping, so I undo the two rear corners ONLY of the duster, and attach the sails - the duster cover remains secure and tight being it is still attached around the other rails and also velco wrapped to the rear rollbars.

When attaching the Duster, remember to take out the ~4foot long pole from the stock rear window, and use it on the rear edge of the Duster (over the rear gate opening). It wasnt obvious on the instructions.

This is the only pic I have of the Duster

I've run the Mopar Sunbonnet (don't you must hate that name?) with the Bestop Duster and Windjammer. The Windjammer doesn't do much, but the Duster/Sunbonnet combo will replace the softtop in the next few weeks. It's really nice, especially doors off.

Hi,
I am also VERY new to the Jeep World (better late than NEVER). I must say that this is the COOLEST vehicle that I have EVER drove!
Anyway, my new baby is a '07 Black 2-door Sahara, and I am going to be putting on the softop this coming weekend. What I would like to know are two things.......

1. With the Bestop dustcover posted above, is getting to the "trunk" difficult with the duster and the soft top attached?

2. Is it possible to put a storage boot on the top when it is down and laying on the duster, so that it doesn't flop around at higher speeds, (plus I can imagine it would help in the aerodynamics of the back, thus helping in just a WEE bit more gas mileage?).

So, if this can be achieved could somebody please post the products best suited for this whole shebang!

Thanks everybody!

It's not difficult but the opening is a little narrow and certainly darker. I store flashlight in the cubby for accessing the lockbox I bolted at the back of the trunk.

I'd guess it would fit, but I don't use a storage boot.
