Soft Top Choices

[Bernie]

I currently have a Fast Trac bikini top on my '74 Bronco. It has the small riser on the top of the windshield and the drop wiper motor bracket installed. I'm considering going with a full convertible top and would like to get some user opinions as to which top is better.

Is the Fast Trac or Bestop soft track the better choice for a full top? From what I can see from the catalogs the Fast Trac has a lower windshield height that appears to look better than the Bestop which has a higher windshield height. One advantage with the Bestop I believe is that you can leave the wiper motor in it's original location and use the plastic trim cover from the old hard top.

Does one of the tops seal out weather better than the other? Do the zip in/out windows work better with one versus the other? Does one fit better than the other and have less wrinkles etc? Which one looks better?

I'd appreciate hearing your opinions and experience about the full convertible top.

I just installed my new Best Top soft top today and it was pretty easy and it does look a little high on the windshield and the center bow but it is great to be able to completely take out the zip out side windows and the tailgate window . As far as the fit I really coudnt tell you how good it fits because I have never had one before . But I like it so far and I think it looks pretty cool .I really like the tinted windows . I could post a couple of pictures tomorrow if you would like . >-

Be sure to check out Kayline (Denver Colorado)

Tight fit, no flapping in the wind or at speed. 1st. one was 15 yrs old when I gave it away....it's prob. still going.

My new one has no zip-outs (nor did the old one) I use the bikini top all summer.

Zip-outs appear to be saggy/ripley in pics...?
