Five star product

"I have it a five star. It’s very versatile and easy to use. Light weight and looks great. Keeps all my gear dry and dust free. I get a ton of compliments with it. The only thing i would like to say is instead of using velcro on the tailgate i would much rather use buttons to secure the rear door."

— Roberto V. (5/5)

Silverado topper

"Ended up being a perfect fit. I even set it up with the break light add on, interior led bed lights. Its all sealed up nicely. with a snug clran fit. No more crawling under the low bed covers. Can stack cargo nicely. Can literally use as a camper/tent. Very very nice. I even purchased the cover for it. When its rolled up. Very impressed with fit and finish"

DESCRIPTION

The Softopper for the 2004-2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 (5.8 ft bed) is the original retractable soft camper shell, built to replace a heavy fiberglass or metal camper shell with cab-high protection a flat tonneau cover cannot match. When a bigger load calls for it, the top folds forward toward the cab or lifts off entirely in seconds, so one person can open up the full bed, then pop it back up for weather-resistant, all-season coverage. A corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum frame carries a waterproof 2-ply PVC-coated sailcloth (vinyl) canopy that shrugs off sun, rain, snow, and mildew, with clear vinyl windows front and rear and roll-up sides for airflow and easy reach into the bed. It clamps onto your truck's bed rails with no-drill C-clamps in about 40 minutes, with no permanent modifications, and non-adhesive weather stripping runs beneath the Softopper bed rails to seal along both sides of the box. Pair it with a lock box when you are hauling valuables, and keep the open-bed versatility. Made in North America and priced at $1,069.99 in black, tan, or grey, it also fits the 2007 Silverado and Sierra 1500 Classic, and adds no significant change to gas mileage and no wind noise at highway speed. Need a different year or bed length? Softopper builds fitted models across the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra lineup, part of the full range of Softopper truck soft tops, so you can match your exact bed on the fitment selector on this page.

Key Features:

  • Retractable, Full-Bed Access – The top folds forward toward the cab or lifts off in seconds, so one person can open the full bed for larger loads, then pop it back up for coverage.
  • Fits 2004-2018 Silverado & Sierra 1500 – Vehicle-specific fit for the 2004-2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 with a 5.8 ft bed, plus the 2007 Silverado and Sierra 1500 Classic.
  • No-Drill C-Clamp Install – Clamps onto your truck's bed rails in about 40 minutes, with no drilling and no permanent modifications.
  • Corrosion-Resistant Aluminum Frame – The anodized aluminum frame with zinc-coated steel fasteners holds up to years of sun, rain, and road exposure.
  • Waterproof 2-Ply PVC-Coated Sailcloth – The all-season vinyl canopy resists UV, rot, and mildew and wipes clean for weather-resistant, cab-high cargo protection.
  • Clear Vinyl Windows & Safari Mode – Clear vinyl windows come standard front and rear, the side panels and rear window roll up into Safari Mode for airflow, and tinted or solid replacement window panels are sold separately to swap in after purchase.
  • #10 YKK Zippers & Replaceable Components – Heavy-duty #10 YKK zippers keep the rear window working smoothly, window panels swap out individually, and the frame components are user-replaceable.
  • Made in North America – Lightweight and folds flat for easy storage, priced at $1,069.99 in black, tan, or grey.

Installation Instructions

Softopper® ST Truck Installation Sheet
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.
