Zipperless top????

Apr 04, 2005 4 Replies

How the heck do these things work with a glass window? I've got an almost new top on my 1992 with the zippered window and I really can't see how the no zipper type would allow the top to be lowered.



Can someone explain it or do I need to go pester the dealer to show me one?



BTW, as I said, my top is near new so I'm not going to be getting a new one any time soon, I hope! I plan on living with the zipper for a long time and, in Phoenix, that's not a problem, I've only had the top up once I think...... I prefer it down.



The rearmost armature bow is not attached to the top. It folds forward to make room for the window.

I did the modification to my 1996 frame that allowed me to use a 1999+ top. This site shows how to do it. Even if you are not doing the conversion, the site has a very good explanation and pictures of the differences between the way that the tops are attached to the two different frames.

Thanks, that explains it!

And....at least comparing the Robbins no-zip to the OEM plastic, the glass window is smaller (vertical measurement).
