Title: Soft top question

I've got one on one of my samurais.  Decent top for the money.

Samurai tops don't have the plastic pieces in the rear corners of the top.  They just have snaps around the bottom, and straps in the upper corners of the top that fasten to the inside corners of the rear of the body.

We are using one on BRD HNTR's 93 tracker, works pretty well.  The corners never stayed in place until we put the new locking cams in place to keep the rear window pulled down.  Now it seats up just fine.

I don't know what brand my soft top is on the Tracker, but those rear bottom corners never hooked into place since I bought it.   Used to bother me...but I recently patched up the rust in the body and painted it, so I don't care how much water gets in there now.  =)

I've got a Pavement Ends top on my trail rig and have had no troubles with it, though I don't run it very often.  I run a Besttop on my daily driver and I know I'll never have trouble with the corners on it . . . cause the top is so dang loose & noisy!  I'd buy a Pavement Ends top before I buy another Bestop.

Never had any problems with the corners on mine.. Only problem I had was the zipper for the back window started popping...The thread was pulling out...

I think most tops only have a year warranty.  So if it has been a year and a half, I doubt they will do anything about it.  But you might luck out.
