trying to find a bikini top in 2022
« on: April 12, 2022, 01:36:18 PM »
i've been looking for a bikini top for my 3b for a while now. the canvas top makers are very busy, and way behind. Mona from new life canvas told me a dec. del. date if i ordered it yesterday ( the 11th of april ) working with beach wood now, waiting on cost an e.t.a.

 i've looked at kasier willys an there top ( best top 55-71 cj ) is not a direct fit https://www.kaiserwillys.com/bestop-traditional-bikini-top-black-fits-52-71-jeep  the wind shield channel must be changed to newer style https://www.bestop.com/products/windshield-channel-jeep-1976-1986-cj7-1987-1995-wrangler-yj-toyota-1964-1984-land-cruiser-black/

in this thread you can see the 2 different channels https://cj3apage.com/Forum/index.php?topic=2482.0

has any one else had luck finding a bikini top ? my wife found 3 on e bay, but they don't fit into a rope channel ( they don't say that till you call them ), i opt not to drill or change my wind shield frame. i was hoping to have one for the june ride in n.h.  i'd be ok with canvas or viynal

 thanks

we opted for the house of jeep bikini top, we did a vinyl top. when i had called the guy said he didn't have any rope channels tops. the wife had sent a e-mail and other fella said they did. so we will see what shows up, i will post pics.
