I’ve been running a Softopper on my K5 for 5 years full time. The company is great to work with and very customer focused. Love running in Safari mode. Some tips: Put some pop pins (vs. the self tappers) in the rear window bar to retract the bar ends, then you can roll it up backwards up into the top. Then fold those back corner flaps in, towards the front, before you roll the sides up and they don’t stick out the back like a bad doobie. Haha. Nice choice! Looks very cool on there.

At first I was like no no. But once the install was complete I kinda dig it. The fit is good and I like how the front goes down past the bed for water run off. The (safari look) is cool too. Btw in this clip those wheels really stood out I'm liking how they look and how the off set is. Really makes the stance look beefy.

Have done hundreds of cap installs on pick up trucks over the years (worked at truck accessory/Rhino Liner dealer) and the best tool for cap clamps is a cordless 1/4" impact driver. Gets the clamps properly tight without over tightening and they won't come loose over time. This will also keep the cap from leaking over time.

@scooter041031 4 жыл бұрын

Hard shell toppers are not automatically sealed to the truck that is a extra item. It's called a pass through and you have to take the truck window out and the hardshell window out. Nor do all hardshells come with an opening front window to gain possible access through the truck and shell window that is usually an option as well.

@dinoc.5537 4 жыл бұрын

We have run a Softtopper on our truck since 2009 and it has been fantastic for us. They aren't far from you there, their shop is in Boulder. I stopped in there to say hello, it's a family business and great folks. I highly recommend them and will use them again on the next truck. ETA: Run some seam sealer on the joints where the buckles are sewn on the outside and inside. That stops them from soaking through and dripping when wet for extended rains.

I love the soft topper! Our daughter is in a wheelchair, and soft topper gives us the ability to protect her wheelchair from the elements when needed without the commitment of a hard topper. I still have the option to haul tall loads or a fifth wheel RV or cover the bed with little effort to transition between the two configurations.

I had a Soft Top on my old F150 worked great but you definitely need the snaps on the inside front panel. When going down the highway the wind will blow in if not secured. The only complaint i had about the soft topper was the blind spot it made when up while driving. I would buy it again if I had the need.
