Wanting a soft top. Who makes the best one?

If I never saw my hard top again I would be ok with it. Makes to much noise and a pain putting it on and takin it off.

Anybody have a soft top they liked or didn't like? And who made it?

Re: Wanting a soft top. Who makes the best one?

Only one company still making soft tops for Blazers. Softtopper
http://www.softopper.com/chevy-blaze...p-details.aspx
Used them on my 1st, 2nd and 3rd gen Blazers. Quality is good but not real crazy about way it looks with sides down.
You could look for a used STC or BesTop. They were pretty nice.
Only other option is get a boat top guy to make you one with exactly what you want...

Re: Wanting a soft top. Who makes the best one?

I just bought a softopper. Looks pretty good but I won't have it installed until I can figure out a mount for the header so I don't have to drill holes.

I noticed this thread about the early style soft tops
thought i'd link it to the later style,I just got a tan one and it's great
same company,I had to call them and they called me back on a sat ...
shipper Fed Ex,lost a small part,but softopper replaced it!

That looks just like the BesTop that came with the blazer I just bought.

Re: Wanting a soft top. Who makes the best one?

That sure looks like a Bestop. I just scored one on CL for $200 - Brand New in the box. Would have probably gotten a Softopper, they are really nice Quality, but dang, they sure are a lot of coin...

Keep searching, they are out there.

One other alternate plan: I think it may be economical to buy a worn-out soft top and take it to a marine canvas guy and have him use as a pattern to make a new one.
