This is in regard to topless jeeps which you may drive out with yet it unpredictably rains or sunshine gets too intensive to bear with.
Do you
have the same problem?

You just need to plan ahead. This is one of the disadvantages of having this type of vehicle.

MOST "REAL JEEP" TOPS ARE PROVISIONED SO THAT THE TOP CAN BE FOLDED AND STORED OUT OF THE WAY. YET REMAIN "ON BOARD"

WHEN YOU HAVE OWNED NOTHING BUT "CJs" FOR OVER 30 YEARS AS PRIMARY TRANSPORTATION.

THE TOP CAN BE ERECTED FULLY IN AROUND 2 MINUTES ON MY CJ 5. LESS, IF YOUR PASSENGER IS FAMILIAR WITH THE TASK (THIS SAME PASSENGER WOULD ALSO KNOW HOW TO REACT TO THE COMMAND: "LOCK YOURS IN!")

THE TOP ON MY '46 WILLYS.1 MINUTE 15 SECONDS, GIVE OR TAKE

I USUALLY LEAVE THE DOORS AT HOME AND KEEP THE TOP UP. THAT SUN WILL KICK YOUR BUTT, WITH NO TOP. IN A STORM, YOU ONLY GET WET IN A REALLY BLOWING RAIN.I KEEP AN ARMY PONCHO, RAIN JACKET AND A HEAVIER COAT IN ALL OF MY VEHICLES

. THE "I'LL NEVER BE COLD AGAIN, LESSON" WAS WELL LEARNED IN ARMY RANGER SCHOOL BACK IN 1984

COME BACK!

I am grateful for your responses but then, I do not feel satisfied in that I am more interested in what steps to take or simply what points to take note of prior to acquiring soft tops for my jeep.

Best considerations look into quality. Apart from appealing look and design of your car, it is good to ascertain that you gain confidence and pride from your car while driving in the open roads. Size and materials also matter as well as blending of their color with your car. Moreover, there is need to ensure that they are genuinely acquired and sourced from trusted dealers.
