Pavement Ends by Bestop soft top question

Does that top fabric use a bow frame, or mount directly onto the sport bar?
Looks like it mounts to the sports bar. There are a few pieces that attach to the sports bar, which in turn the top is attached to. Too dark to get any good pics of the interior now.

Therefore we are probably discussing an aging fastback type top, where the window does unzip on both sides, then slides out of a track. Unlike a standard top where the window unzips to the driver's side and then can be removed. Time for a new top?

Would love one, but it’s actually in pretty good shape. I’ll have to figure out how it all works once the weather decided to cooperate! Thanks for all the help.
 
On my Rampage top the back window does not come off. It rolls up IIRC. And there are two looped pieces of elastic on the inside at the top of the window. So you can roll it up and hold it that way - I guess. Never tried.

I'd call Bestop. I don't know what their customer service is like. But Rampage was at least able to get on the phone with me. Bestop should be able to help you.

Thanks! Doesn’t hurt to try. Having the true instructions for the top I have would be helpful.
 
Mine is a pavement ends, but not a sprint top, it's a regular replacement top. That's the difference. Sorry i wasn't any help.

The pavement ends has thinner fabric than the 21 year old top i replaced, but works exactly the same way. I also think the zippers are lower quality, but better than stuck. For my limited budget it's a lot quieter than the old one. I'm happy with what i got for the money i paid and i can see through the windows when they are in. I knew going in it was lesser quality, but the price is less than half the regular top and about 1/4 of that fancy twill top people love so much.

Budget matters.

Glad you got it figured out.
