I have one but it will never be used. The weather here in WV changes too abruptly. I always have to be ready and axle to put the top up at a moment’s notice. It can’t start out sunny and cloudless and turn into a thunderstorm the same afternoon. Also why I could never entertain the idea of a CR unless I used used it as a permanent hardtop.

Does anyone have/know of one that works with a hardtop? I actually use both tops enough and hate covering my soft top with a blanket when it's under the hardtop.

OEM tonneau doesn't work with the hardtop from what I've heard. Why do you want to cover it under the hardtop?
I really like the OEM tonneau cover though, it was a pain to get it on and sit right the first few times though.

I use mine a lot in the warmer months in northern California only if I am driving locally. It does look nice and keeps the sun damage down outside. For a road trip I leave it at home so I can put the top up and down as desired.

It can be difficult to pull the snaps to release (my hands don't fit well under the thing) so I use a plastic trim tool to help release them. In addition, if the elastic straps are not in good shape, the folded roof will stick up a bit higher making it more difficult to install the cover.

That copper tube supported by two wires is what I use to store the thing. I slip the tube through the inside sewn cloth flap and then hang the tube by the two looped wires. It keeps the cover from distorting.

Yeah I tried it and I would need to cut mine up to maybe have it kind of work. The CR one also doesn't cover a soft top.

I mainly want to just protect the soft top from the sun when it's under the hardtop but I guess I might just tint the hardtop glass with some nicer tint.
