Was Bored, so I modified the wiper cover, so it would fit under the soft top, with the drop wiper bracket.

I really had to cut a lot off of it, and still had to shim the right side so the linkage wouldn't hit the cover. I still have to add something to the top, so the wind won't rip it off when no top is on.

I also painted it black, along with the visors, using Kylon Fusion paint. The paint wasn't totally dry on these pics, so the shinyness will go away once it dries.

Here are some pics

if your riser is higher than mine it will be a lot easier
Mine is only 1.75 inches tall (I am trying to keep the roof low)

If you have a 1/2 inch taller riser, you may not have to take all the top of the cover off like I had to.

Ya it would be awesome if someone made a cover for those of us with drop windshield motor brackets, and a soft top

I assume you have Rampage Top.
Here are templates for the Bestop.(page 10)

No
It is a home made riser, and right now just a Bikini top

The top is still in the planning stages, but I have a few parts allready.

The front will have a frame similar to a can back, or chucks top, but the front half will be all metal with a 38x22 inch pop up/removeable sunroof. Still not sure if I am going to do a rear soft top, or just do a tonnue cover for the rear, with a slooped rear canvas/window

Oh no the cats out of the bag ;D
