Title: Just got a Tracker BesTop Sunport modular soft top but have a problem
Post by: AJMBLAZER on December 10, 2005, 09:11:56 PM

Okay, so I found out my used but new to me replacement top is actually a BesTop Sunport top!

A pleasant surprise but it has a bit of a problem.  If you go to this page:

http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/protopaccessories/51762sunport.pdf (http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/protopaccessories/51762sunport.pdf)

...and look at the second page of it you see there's supposed to be some kind of a rail that screws onto the roof of the Tracker that the top's halves snap onto to keep themselves taught.

Only problem is mine didn't come with one of these rails.  Anyone have one of these laying around?  I'm going to see if the guy that sold me the top still has the rail in the meanwhile.

Yeah that's a bit of a problem...I'll go take a picture or two of mine and try to get a couple measurements for you...maybe be you can source something like it from a place that sells aluminum mouldings.

My top is starting to come appart at the seams where it is "welded" any idea how much you paid for that top? or how much a normal one is?

Used and very dirty I paid about $90 for it.  Needs some work but overall it's 95% useable and there.

Brand new...last I saw was $350 before shipping.

Here are some pics and measurements:

The track is about 1 7/8" wide and about 1/4" high

It is about 46" long and fastened to the roof with 5 self tapping screws

Here is a shot of it with both halves of the roof on

Ooooh, she's purty. ;D  Thanks man.

The guy I got the top from realized he left it off and is sending it to me now.  Meanwhile I have to get two of the zippers redone by the local boat shop...lovely. :P
