The finished install looks great. Can you talk about the snaps in the front corners? I'm having a hard time with proper placement. It seems as though the new top is smaller than the original. None of the screw holes or snaps line up.
Mr. T - what Year Jeep do you have? I have a 91 YJ and was just given the bikini top for Fsther’s Day. I was also wondering about the snaps. What did you end up doing?
@@coachdunford1747 hey, I have an 85 but the new bikini came, with the front corner snaps in different locations than the original top. That said I went ahead and installed the new window track and put on the new top. but I'm realizing that I really didn't need the snaps, snapped. It doesn't flap or act like it's in distress in any way. So two thumbs up for the time being. I hope that helps, and If not i have other ideas.
Yes it does have snaps but, I did not use them. Might be for a different application. The top just slides into the channel track and folds over. No need for the snaps. 👍🏼
Thanks, you help me a lot.

M.R. T no snaps needed in my application, the front of the top just slides in and folds over the windshield track that I installed.
M.R. T sorry for the late reply.

Hey Man is the color of the bikini top TAN? I wonder if it match the TAN BESTOP roll bar cover for the CJ7
Rex Tapia yessir, I would hope they would match. Color looks pretty good next to the original bar covers on mine.
My channels are so narrow it’s a pain to get the top into it. Someone suggested dish soap?
That might do it. That wasn't a problem for me i just shoved it in without much resistance. Unless they got damaged?smashed down some how.
