This should answer a few of the outstanding questions about lowering the top and removing the framework.


I understand how to open up the soft top and the video shows that, but what it doesn't show is when the gas strut is installed how much easier or harder is it to go all the way back? I feel like there will be a lot more pressure trying to open it all the way.

Umm, he puts the top down in a split second in the video?

The top is so heavy it basically closes itself with minimal additional effort. It can still be done one handed.

Again, sorry, I must not be saying this the right way. What Im asking is, when your product is installed and you do the first motion to open up the soft top, then you have click the lever to bring the top all the way back, what is the difference in effort? I may just have to wait for the people buying them without knowing all the information to test it out. Im looking for a video that shows, from open to close and back again without your product, then a video doing the same thing with your product. Essentially…..Im looking for a review, here is a YouTube couple that does these reviews, send it to them

I understand what you are after and obviously am happy to share a video. However the question you are asking is subjective. I think it’s probably better to listen and watch for reviews of others after the initial kits ship. I know a few buyers have already expressed interest in conducting and posting a review post install.

Awesome! Getting closer!

Just wondering, will the brackets and hardware be powder coated black to match the rest of the frame?

@IAG Performance , can I suggest a bolt-on cable/cam/lever mechanism that allows for a one-handled lift?

A wide plastic handle on one side, cable-linked to the other, so a quick upward motion on one side releases both clips? The cable would need to be low to the frame, but might be possible.

This would accentuate the capability of your new lift systems.

Thanks for the support! We have several new products in the works, so keep an eye out here for announcements over the next few weeks.
I’m in Westminster and have a 4dr black diamond soft top if you ever need another tester. This kit looks awesome!
