I just removed & stored the hard top & reinstalled the soft folding top for the summer. However I was considering getting the duster, and it appears that the soft top must be removed in order to use it. Is it absolutely necessary to remove the folding soft top completely in order to use the duster? If a rain storm brews, I'd like to be able to throw the top up. I do not plan to get the bikini. I'll just use the Freedom Panels, but I'd like to get the duster to keep prying eyes out of the cargo area. Yes, I know it's not secure.


I have a 4 dr JK. So, what's the word?

 

From looking at the Bestop website, I noticed that the duster requires that you use the bar from your back window to seal it to the back of your Jeep. Because of this, and the fact that it uses the channels that the soft top secures to, you would have to wait to instal the duster until the soft top was completely down and you could take the window bar off of the rear window. Past that, I don't see anything that would interfere with the use of the duster once the soft top is down, but I'm sure if I'm missing something, someone will point it out.
