sliding rag tops

i got the same one everyone is talkin about and i dont have any problems from the instalation, but I had to add a rubber seal around the metal frame so it dont leak. when its closed you dont see the rubber and when its open its not real noticable. I drive mine every day, rain, shine, or in the ice with no problems. if i was to do it agin on a daily i am unsure if i would but i love mine.

i got mine from street beat no problems. just when washing it if i spray it wrong it leaks a little.

That rubber pinch molding goes around the track for the rag top, right? And it should cover up the relief cuts made to bend the rag top frame to fit the roof curve?

I have had a britex top for over 8 years now in my truck and one in the shell. my mazda also has one in it and have never had a drop of water in any of them. they are grrreat

I have a streetbeat 40x40 in my truck. I've washed my truck and havent had any issues.

i have one in my wagon, its a 35x65 and its leak free even in heavy rains, but it does eak if you sprayt the crap out of the sides of them. the wagon had it for a year of daily driving. i will be buying one for my dually also. i am very pleased with it.

go for it! you'll love the sun shinin in

Mine never leaked, even in heavy rain....untill i took my windshield wipers off and used rain x

on mine i didnt cut it and the rubber i put around the track was some i got from lowes/homedepo. its a tub shape and its durable enough to not tare when it slides. with out that and its a water fall in my truck. its not that it didnt instale good it that gap between the track and the cloth were it leaked.

on a side note, i got a 35x35 rag top for sale if anybody wants one

im willing to trade for 89-95 yota parts or a 35x24 ragtop

how much would one cost for a 88 s-10 (cab roof) and for the rear tub over the bed just an estimate if possible
