Instructions - Soft Top on Backdraft Needed

[OldFoggey]

Cashburn, the piece that goes across the windshield is one solid piece. Since it won't fold I can't see any way to get it in the trunk. I tried many times but there's no way that I can see to get it in there.

You place it rolled up in the bag. Then feed the end as far into the passenger corner where the harness mounts are, once it's in that far you can get it totally in the trunk openining. Then take the other end and swing it into the the driver side quarter and you can rotate the whole thing so it is quarter panel to quarter panel.

It has to be rolled up and folded properly to fit in bag.

The ass of the car is wider than the windshield so you know it can fit

Hey Jay...With all that spare time you and Brian have, how about video taping an install of the top and how you guys fit it in the truck, then post it on youtube! lol

I'd actually love to see it myself even though I haven't had to use the top yet.

Hope all is well with you guyz!

Jay, I stored the top months ago when I couldn't get it to fit in the trunk. I didn't get a bag with the top other than one for the windows. After fighting with the top for days I believe I measured the front bar of the top from end to end and it was much longer that what I could measure from any point in the trunk to the edge of the body at the trunk opening. I even created a thread on this site about having an issue getting the top in the trunk and there was replies about the front bar not being flexible on the Backdraft. I'll give it a shot again this weekend. Good point in the previous post about the video.

When I received my BDR, Jay had the top in the trunk nice and neat for me. It's tight but will definately fit.

I haven't had a chance to try putting in the trunk again but I did notice in the picture that you only have one roll bar where as I have two. Maybe that's what the top hits when trying to stuff it in. I'll definitely give it another shot.

It fits with two.
