Softopper®
DESCRIPTION
The Softopper SUV soft top is a retractable, all-weather top built for the 1980–1996 full-size Ford Bronco (SKU family SO-BRNC3), starting at $1,299.99. Installation typically takes about an hour and secures the side rails using the pre-drilled mounting holes in the factory hard top. No clamps are required. Retract it rearward for full open-bed access, roll the side and rear panels up into Safari Mode for dog-friendly airflow, or remove it completely in minutes. Your complete kit includes a removable rear window, all mounting hardware, bedrails with non-adhesive weather stripping, and a protective boot cover for driving retracted. The canopy is a 2-ply laminated PVC-coated sailcloth, a waterproof vinyl that resists UV, rot, and mildew and wipes clean easily. It rides on a lightweight, corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum frame for four-season use, and genuine Softopper replacement parts keep the rear window and frame components serviceable for years. Because it is a sewn top, seams can leak in trouble spots, so we offer seam sealer to touch them up. At highway speed there is no wind noise and no significant change in gas mileage. For secured storage, pair your Softopper with an aftermarket lock box and keep the open, retractable bed. Prefer another classic rig?

Installation Instructions
Softopper® BRNC3 Installation SheetInstallation/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.
