Title: Soft top mounting hardware
Post by: Club Car on June 24, 2006, 08:19:16 AM

I was given a factory soft top (still in great condition) for my 95 YJ with full doors.  The top came with the frame, top and windows.  I do not have a windshield channel, or the tub surround for the rear windows.  I am also missing the clip where the frame mounts to the windshield.

Help!  I have searched on line, I have checked junk yards, I have placed an ad on craigslist.  

Where can I find these parts for a factory soft top without paying dealer prices.

On Monday, try calling Bestop directly.  Tell them that your pieces were just lost over the winter.  See if they can seel it to you at jobber costs...

Doesn't hurt to try.

I tried that.   THey said that they only sell the hardware as a kit with a new bestop.  THey also said that factory tops to not fit with bestop hardware.  This seems bogus to me.  Does any know this to be true?

Is someone is parting out a YJ I would like to buy the parts...
