Anyone managed to have a front bikini with a fibreglass rear on a sierra?
looking at it shouldnt be to hard to accomplish. few press studs, bit of outside the box thinking and patience..
If you have done it, share your thoughts and fitment!? include pics if you can..
If you havnt.. bugger off

Geoffs(zooker) old lwb
I also plan on doing this with my lwb hardtop. But make it suitable just for a bikini also. Studs across top of hardtop roof, With a foam/rubber strip under the softop so the water doesnt run back into the cab/hardtop seal

sweet as timmay  was thinking the exact same deal with the studs and rubber. (why does that sound somewhat kinky?)
Id still prefer to have both tops as hardtops, but alas its becoming quiet a task to even get anyone to lend one let alone purchase one :/

Id rather have a soft front section. You can always fold it up.

As ive said before why not make your own hard lid using alloy checkerplate.

You could easily fold it up yourself. There is almost no curve to the roof so it is just the front and sides that require a lip folded over......easy to do with some booty fab. (mallet and block of wood)
