Default Top Braces

Hello everyone. I am looking for some type of support for my jeep soft, bikini and safari top. The reason is that rain pudlles on the regualar and safari top, and when I use my rain cover over the bikini top, the rain pushes the top down an creates a pool of water on top of the jeep.

I though I saw a brace somewhere on the internet that kept the canvas or top tight (convex) so the rain rolls off.

Any suggestions?

I ordered a set of these. They come in 2-dr (single) and 4-dr (set). Just paste into your browser. This is the only version I have seen for the JK. But as with most "extras" just when I get it, something better will come out...for cheaper with my luck.

Good Luck
