Soft top clearance HELP!!!

[1972 Jimmy]

Need some soft top help here guys!!! I’m looking for some pictures of how much clearance there is between the bottom of the canvas top and the sun visors. I’m currently installing a full roll cage and I need to determine if I can put the front overhead cross bar on top of the sun visors or behind the visors. The factory hard top has enough clearance that I could put the cross bar above the sun visors I’m just not sure if the soft top has that same clearance. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Eric

Is this what you need? Looks like 2-1/8" all the way across. Let me know if you need more pics.

Thank you! Great pic! That helps me out with the distance from the the visor to the top. But, I'm now wondering how much clearance there is around where the top frame structure mounts to the front windsheild. Could you take acouple of pics showing where the top frame mounts to the windsheild and how much clearance there is realative to the top of the windsheild frame. Also, a pic showing how far the top frame structure is from the side window.
Thank you so much for the help!!!

Here is a pic of the front attachment location. Mine uses the lower screw of the weatherstripping to attach.

Side view. Pretty much even with the top edge of window. If you need more pics PM your email or cell and I can text or email more. I can't figure out how to post more than 1 pic at a time on here from my phone.

Thank you so much for the other two pics. I think I got what I need. now getting tubes bent to fit how I want is going to be another story.
Thanks again,

If you can get the hard top on with a roll cage, you should be able to get the soft top on too.

unfortunately not, I'm finding out. The center of the soft top is at the same height as the hardtop however the sides taper down lower to the bed rail than the hardtop. So it looks like I'm going to have to drop the roll cage 2 inches lower to fit under the side of the soft top.

Hum, interesting. Make sure you post pictures when you get it completed.
