1982-2026 GMC Sierra 1500 / 2500 / 3500 Soft Tops
DESCRIPTION
A truck should stay a truck. The Softopper® GMC Sierra camper shell gives your 1500, 2500, or 3500 covered, weather-resistant protection when you want it. When a bigger load calls, it opens to a full bed in seconds, with no permanent commitment. It's a lightweight, removable alternative to a heavy hard-shell tonneau cover, so you never trade away bed access or payload flexibility. Fold it forward toward the cab or lift it off in minutes for full bed access. Then snap it back into a cab-high canopy over your cargo. Most Sierra models install with no-drill C-clamps in about an hour, with no permanent modifications to your truck. The corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum frame stays rigid and stable. Every window panel and frame component is user-replaceable, so your topper lasts instead of getting thrown away. As the original retractable soft truck top, Softopper® is proudly made in North America and backed by a comprehensive materials and workmanship warranty. Pricing starts at $1,069.99.
Key Features:
- Full Bed Access in Seconds – Fold the top forward toward the cab or lift it off for a full open bed, then snap it back over your cargo when you need coverage.
- No-Drill Clamp-On Install – Most Sierra models install with no-drill C-clamps in about an hour, with no permanent modifications to your truck.
- Lightweight Camper Shell Alternative – This soft camper shell replaces a heavy, permanent hard shell without sacrificing bed access or payload flexibility.
- All-Weather Sailcloth or Twill – Choose Standard Vinyl in black, tan, or grey, a 2-ply PVC-coated sailcloth that is a waterproof vinyl, UV-stabilized and mildew-resistant, or triple-layer Premium Black Twill with a standard dark tinted rear window, for a cab-high canopy that shields gear from sun, rain, snow, and mud.
- Corrosion-Resistant Aluminum Frame – The anodized aluminum frame is rust-proof and stays rigid and stable at highway speeds and on the jobsite.
- Interchangeable, User-Replaceable Panels – Swap clear, tinted, mesh, or solid front and rear window panels in minutes, and replace frame components as needed, so your Sierra topper lasts instead of getting thrown away.
- Backed by a Comprehensive Warranty – Softopper covers materials and workmanship for one year, vinyl windows for three months, and the commercial-grade #10 YKK zippers for six months.
- Honest Security, Smart Setup – A soft truck top isn't a locking hard cap, so pair it with a lock box to secure valuables while keeping retractable bed access.

We warrant all of our Softoppers to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year, with the exception of vinyl windows and zippers, provided there has been normal use and proper maintenance.
Vinyl Windows are warranted for a period of 3 months from the date of purchase.
Zippers are guaranteed to be in perfect working condition when leaving the factory. Due to atmospheric conditions, dirt, sand, road grime, dust, and abrasive cleaners, etc., zippers are warranted for a period of 6 months from the date of purchase.
Toyota 4 Runner, Blazer, Jimmy, Scout, Bronco, and RamCharger side curtain windows are warranted for 45 days from the date of purchase. Retracting or closing the top when the temperature is below 40 degrees may void the warranty on the side windows, as clear vinyl plastic can crack very easily at these temperatures. Use caution when retracting the top or cleaning off the windows in freezing temperatures.
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. Â
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.Â
