Bestop Slantop Tip

[dvnorton]

[Sorry if this is a repeat, but I couldn't find it when I searched.]
I discovered an important tip for putting down the Bestop Slantop (4-door in my case). I found that the roof material hung into the back seat, and flapped around when I drove (especially at highway speeds). The first two pictures shows what it typically looked like. If you add an additional fold in, splitting the lowest layer and folding it back again, it eliminates the excess material and the associated flapping (see third and fourth pictures). The wind pressure seems to keep it in place. Sorry for the vague description, but hopefully the pictures make it clear.

Kinda reminds me of a parachute….

Thanks for posting this. I was wondering about this as well because I had a sun shade that help keep the top out of the back seat passenger's faces, but I wanted to take that off and was pretty annoyed when I was reminded about this problem.

I'll try your tip next time I flip it back.
