Works but ruins the integrity

"Good concept, but that’s all it is. By doing this to your solid panel you are ruining the integrity of your soft topper. Added double sided Velcro to hold it down when not in use, completely worthless. Should’ve never done it. Completely disappointed"

Very happy!

"Works well. You have to ensure the topper is taunt at the front window for good adhesion of the flap. Works well for me and my 3 pups."

Q&A

Does a lot of water get in bed when it rains?
Hey there! The Dog Window Kit uses a piece of vinyl that overlaps the hole you cut by several inches on either side. This prevents water from coming in however the Softopper is no longer sealed so minor leaking can be expected. Please let us know if you have any additional questions!
Does it seal the cab to the softopper so that rain doesn’t fall in from the separation?
The DIY Dog Window Cutout Kit does not seal. However, the provided piece of vinyl that is used to cover the hole you cut in the front window of the Softopper is designed to be several inches larger than the suggest hole sides. This allows it to help keep weather out of your truck bed.
Can i use the dog window cutout for a Bestop?
You cannot use this product on the Bestop Supertop for Truck. The front window on that product is sewn in, making it incompatible with the hook-and-loop fastener on the DIY Dog Window Cutout kit.

DESCRIPTION

Convert the front window of your truck Softopper® so that your puppers can access your truck cab from your truck bed! This is a do-it-yourself kit, and is irreversible once your front window is cut into. The doggie window flap overhangs the opening in the front window by 5 inches on each side, so your Softopper® will remain waterproof.

Doggie window flap is made from the same clear, vinyl window material as the Softopper® windows

Two roll up straps allow you to roll up the doggie window flap and buckle it in order to create constant access to the truck bed from the cab

Window template allows you to trace onto your front window, which you cut out to create the doggie window opening

Additional Information

Installation/Removal
The Softopper installs in minutes with custom clamps without any permanent modifications required. No drilling needed. Non-adhesive weather stripping provides waterproofing for your entire truck bed. It takes one person mere seconds to remove your Softopper entirely and folds flat for quick, easy storage in any space.  

Modular and Versatile
Customize your Softopper for how you work and play. In addition to the fully open and fully closed configurations, the canopy’s side panels and rear window roll up for easy access. No more crawling through the bed to get to gear up front. It’s also dog friendly. Open up the sides and give your pal plenty of air with protection from the sun and rain. Replaceable clear vinyl windows provide complete visibility through your truck bed.

Quality/Durability
Made in North America from the highest quality materials. A rust-free, anodized aluminum frame supports a 2-Ply, laminated PVC-coated canopy. The canopy is waterproof, UV, rot and mildew resistant, and is incredibly easy to clean. This 4-season sailcloth shrugs off beating sun, pouring rain, heavy snow and hurricane-force winds. Uses heavy duty #10 YKK zippers. The non-adhesive weather stripping protects your entire truck bed. And all parts are user replaceable.

Substance with Style
Available in three colors: Stealth Black, Desert Tan, and Battleship Gray. There are three options for the replaceable window panels: Clear, tinted and solid. Looks as great as the day you bought it, for years to come.

Everyday Utility
Strikes the balance of bulky, heavy camper shells and space-limiting flat tonneau covers. Use fully closed for weather protection and security, quickly collapse it open for hauling or go safari style with sides rolled up. No significant change in gas mileage. No wind noise even when driving at highway speeds.
