soft tops and wiper covers

[dedgar]

I'm finally getting a full cage and want to know if the wiper motor cover will work with a soft top? Any other problems I might encounter?

Thanks

You will have to cut it down, but you can keep them on. I have
a pic of mine in the gallery. Not a sharp pic. kinda dark, but it
can be done.

Kind of depends on what soft top you have and if it has a windshield riser. I have an old DMC soft top made in Longmont Colorado that uses a riser. It works fine with the wiper cover on and does not require the use of a wiper motor drop down bracket.

Those tops requiring a wiper motor drop down may pose a problem, but I don't know. For those running drop downs, will the wiper cover still fit?

Be sure that you plan for it when building the cage! I have seen some cages where the horizontal bar is too close to the wipers. Make sure you have proper clearance.

Good Luck!

yea, mine is a kayline now known as specilty top, it has a drop bracket.
Also has to rotate the wiper 180*, I had to trim the top off the cover and
the end off of the passenger side. Later on I had to trim it down more when
I added the front hoop of the roll bar.
