well when the truck gets painted i will have them do some metal work back there to smooth it out more.......but for now...the only time the top is closed is if it is raining or at night...so you dont even see it....

well the hole is so wide it almost leaves no part of that...but where it does you leave some of the material in the hole and it gets wraped around the tracks with a pinch molding...you wont even see it there...i hope....who knows..i will see when i get the suede in...

Re: there is a hole in my roof?

Hey orange, how much did the rag run you? im looking foward to possibly getting this done in the future. Either the bigger one you have, or craig's ragtop over at blazinlow. Does it leak at all and you have to manually push it back correct?

yeah its manual...but it slides easy....

yeah it a huge hole and i love it....

no leaks yet since i have not left it in the rain for long...it rained on it today pretty hard and no leaks...but it was a short time...

and it cost me under 800 to do it...and labor was free since i did it....
