Softopper®
DESCRIPTION
Your 2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma with the 5 ft bed gets covered, cab-high protection and a full open bed on demand, with no drilling and no permanent commitment. The Softopper is the original retractable soft truck top: it clamps on with custom C-clamps in about 40 minutes, then retracts toward the cab in seconds so you can haul tall or bulky loads a flat tonneau or heavy fiberglass camper shell can't handle. The corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum frame carries a 2-ply PVC-coated laminated sailcloth canopy, a waterproof vinyl that's UV-, rot-, and mildew-resistant for all-season, weather-resistant coverage. Side panels and the rear window roll up into Safari Mode for airflow and quick bed access, and the clear vinyl windows swap out in minutes for tinted, mesh, or solid panels. It's lightweight, adds no significant change in gas mileage, and stays quiet at highway speed. Built in North America, with user-replaceable window panels and frame components so your Softopper lasts instead of getting thrown away.
Key Features:
- No-Drill Clamp-On Install – Custom C-clamps mount your Softopper in about 40 minutes with no drilling and no permanent modifications to your Tacoma.
- Full Bed Access in Seconds – Retract the top toward the cab or lift it off entirely so one person can open the full 5 ft bed for tall or oversized loads.
- Corrosion-Resistant Frame – A rust-proof anodized aluminum frame with zinc-coated steel fasteners holds up to weather and everyday hauling.
- All-Weather Sailcloth Canopy – The 2-ply PVC-coated laminated sailcloth is a waterproof vinyl that's UV-, rot-, and mildew-resistant for all-season coverage.
- Sealed Along Both Sides – Non-adhesive weather stripping runs beneath the Softopper bed rails, sealing along both sides of the truck box to help keep out dust, moisture, and road debris.
- Interchangeable Window Panels – Clear vinyl windows swap out in minutes for tinted, mesh, or solid panels, and the sides and rear window roll up into Safari Mode for airflow.
- Commercial-Grade #10 YKK Zippers – Heavy-duty #10 YKK zippers keep the rear window secure and working smoothly through years of daily access.
- Colors, Replaceable Parts, and Price – Choose Standard Vinyl in black, tan, or grey for $1,049.99, with user-replaceable window panels and frame components.

Installation Instructions
Softopper® ST Truck 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. 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
