ROPS and Soft Top

Unread post by Bucolic » May 4th, 2017, 3:16 am

I've got a question for anyone with an installed ROPS and an installed soft top. Does the soft top frame fold down onto the fenders with a ROPS installed? I know without the ROPS, the frame will lay flat on the fenders, inside the corner antenna uprights. Any problems getting the soft top back onto the frame with the ROPS installed?

No it will not.

I actually folded the frame towards the center bar behind the front seats, that is a clean tuck away in my opinion. Installing the top with ROPS is no different than without.
