Everytime I need a new soft top (about every 4 years in the Florida sun) I have to take the door uppers into a local upholstery shop and have the same tinted vinyl stitched into place as the rest of the top comes with already. Not only does it look much better having them all tinted but the protection is the main reason. This usually costs $200 for the set. My question is, does anyone know of a company that already does this? I'll gladly sign any waiver about the tint. If you live in Florida everything you have is tinted so I'd rather get a kit ready to go. Thanks for the advice.

I bought some from this seller on eBay 1-1/2 years ago. They were only $99 at that time. They matched my (at the time) slightly over 4 year old top pretty well. If you stared really hard at it, you could barely tell a difference.

Kinda the same thing I did, however I'm looking for a 1 stop shop. I want to buy everything from one vendor and not have the worry about fitment or anything else.

I guess I don’t understand the question.

All I did was buy them, installed them on some frames and put them on the Jeep. No sewing involved.

Was it the complete top? I'm not talking about the frame, but the complete soft top tinted with upper doors tinted also all from 1 vendor.

I know it's not what the OP is looking for, so apologies for hijacking the thread, but I'm interested in where I can get just the tinted soft uppers that would match a Bestop "spice" sailcloth soft top.

I go to my local upholstery shop or someone who works on boat interiors. They will have the vinyl you need

Just make sure to type the second 'n' or you may get a different website...

Anyone find out what they charge? That would be great to have the fronts tinted.

Yes definitely make sure you put a dash also between skin and tintz. They say 160 for yours 200 if they supply to uppers. I definitely appreciate what everyone is sending me but it puts me back at the same spot I am in now. My local upholstery shop can do the same without having to pay shipping. I'm looking for a company that has everything tinted to just buy and install but I'm running in to a wall.

Oh, I see what you’re asking now. I thought you meant just the soft uppers without having to have extra work done to them.
 
So all of these links to sources with tinted uppers are out of stock, or not working

Has anyone found a newer tinted upper door source??
I got some Smittybuilt soft uppers inbound but Id prefer tinted

Checkin out if anyone has had success tinting themselves, and how it looks after a few seasons
