Great video. I’m currently restoring (very slowly) a 90 GMC Jimmy and this video convinced me to buy a Softopper! Thanks for the in depth detail during the install.
Thanks for the video. I just received mine for a 1979 Bronco. I am having a company install it that specializes in interiors, stereos, accessories, etc. What do you think a fair number of hours is to install for a installer that is skilled in custom interiors?
Do you plan on keeping the soft top on year round? I have read some take off the tailgate and put on a pick-up tailgate to save weight and the fact you don't use the glass window anymore if using it year round. I plan on doing that way with mine.
We have had the softop on for two straight years with no issues. Drafts are minimal, and my son has no issues with the heat keeping up even on the coldest days. We removed the tailgate glass to lighten up the tailgate, had never thought of installing a pickup tailgate... but now that's an idea you got stuck in my head.
I like it, its like an air ratchet without having to pull out the hose. It also has a bit more torque than an air ratchet. They also make a heavier version M12 that is supposedly more torque and higher quality. I have found it to come in handy and reach places my battery Ryobi light duty impact wont
