More than a cloth/canvas soft top, but less than a metal hard top.
Hope that helps. ;D

kinda, as in could just two people lift off fiberglass top? vs about 4-5 with steel top. somebody should make carbon fiber top. prices have come down on that stuff over the years.

I used to take my steel hardtop off by myself.
Unbol, turtle shell on my back, stand up, walk it halfway off, hop down and close tailgate, find weight center, and overhead press walk it to the rack.

I'll need to see a picture before I believe that!

I've done it several times too - but no glass and no liftgate. Now I have a winch. Too old for that way anymore.

In the late nineties I drove my Bronco everyday. Decided one day I wanted a soft top. Bought one and installed it. Decided I didn't like it. Was too noisy, too drafty. reinstalled my hardtop and never put it back on. Of course I was driving everyday 10 to 15 miles a day most of that at 60 miles an hour.
