My Softy

Here's my 109 soft top. Got the top from our hosts. Fits great. Keeps me warm and dry. I did change out the rope for the tailgate holddowns with bungie cord that I bought from an outdoor store. Easier to open and close.
Just got a Hard top and sides as well, primariliy for off road as I don't want to tear up the softy.

Here is my top. It is an aftermarket one from our hosts.

Exmoor Trim tops - both of them.

Very Nice Stage One. Don't see that many in 3 door.

I've owned both a Land Rover top [purchased used] and now have a Rovers North top on both of my II-A's [I convert them to soft tops in the summer]. The Land Rover top last a long time, fit very well, but eventually began to wick and leak. I did buy a canvas waterproofing product from Rovers North that ended the wicking; when I sold the top, it was still functional.

I bought my current tops through Rovers North and both seal up and tighten up fine. The stitching and windows are well done, too. I applaud the use of the bungie cord in the rear - the ropes supplied are simply too short and they're always soaked or muddy when I need to undo them.

The best tops I've ever seen are those created by Chris Laws of Badger Engineering. The stitching work is spectacular, the straps are leather, and the fabric looks terrific. The quality is reflected in the price but if you have the funds, they're quite impressive.

Speaking of softtops...Does anyone know how to keep the front windsheild corners from opening up? Mine seem to loosen and open up especially on the highway.

I'll add the Pangolin4X4 has a fantastic looking top too.
