another soft top question

[mustangmarty]

Which soft top is the fastest and easiest to put up and down?

STC fast trac

I can't speak directly to the STC but the Bestop uses a rail system that is very easy to remove at the sides and back however it lacks the front rail the STC uses that allows it to be folded back without fully removing the top and then sliding it out from the side. When I take mine down this spring I plan to modify the Bestop riser to work with the STC front rail to give me the best of both.

Do I smell a write-up baking.....?

Perhaps. It looks like I can trim the front lip off the Bestop riser and then the top lip off the STC riser to get it to work. That looks like it would give enough room to come in from the top with a socket to bolt the STC riser on top of the Bestop one at the front. If that doesn't work then the next option would be to knock holes in the Bestop riser at each bolt to access it with a wrench. It is tempting to just use star washers on the bolts and just drop them through but I can see a headache forming whenever I try to take them off. I may look at it closer in the next week or so when I put it in the garage since I think the top will need to be removed to get it in. (It barely fit last time I had it in there and I've added a few inches to the height since then so it still might not fit without airing down the tires)

STC Soft top seems to be the quickest on and off. I like how the fit and bows work better than the Best top. Fast track side rails are very easy to use. They are a lot better than the old snaps.
