SOFT-TOP NOTES:
For Soft-top, Due to extreme supply factors, the soft-top is no longer offered.
A. Soft-top Canopy color standard: Black with best UV protection
B. Soft-top Medium Gray, White and Light Gray stain on the highway, less UV protection...no longer offered.
C. Soft-top Dual stripes any available color, welded-on. choose 6.75" wide each with 1" space, or 10" wide with 3" space.
D. Soft-top "Super-Size" is taller for tall Street Rods, HD Trikes, etc. (Corvettes, older British sports cars fit in a standard SE) Newer Mustangs have non-folding mirrors and are therefore too wide for a standard SE. 60's muscle cars are typically too wide as well. A standard SE is 78" wide clearance inside. Porsche RS3 is too wide. The new SE Hardtop is wider inside --->. FL 84" wide clearance inside including the rear door. MI units 87" clearance inside w 82" wide rear door.
E. "Broadway" deck is not offered; gets too dirty from tires.
F. Passenger door for right hand drive or backing the car into SE.
G. All-aluminum chassis Soft-top reduces weight by approx. 600-700 lbs. compared to steel, requires electric brakes on second axle option, available at Midwest, Texas, Florida, and Oregon locations only. (see note J) Total weight only 1200-1350 lbs. Includes Alloy frame, deck, fenders, and ramps. Fender is approx. 8" above SE Deck for car door clearance.
H. Bolt-on steel or weld-on aluminum fittings required for aluminum Soft-top trailers.
J. Soft-top Oregon aluminum has standard wood deck standard; not quite as lightweight, but no rust! Oregon optional Polished Diamond Plate Aluminum deck add $600.
L. Typical Soft-top inside width clearance is 78"-79"; requiring more clearance will require special engineering and extra cost. Cars that have non-folding mirrors present a challenge (Newer Mustangs and Vipers for example). Check overall width including mirrors. IMPORTANT. See Note D. Hardtop has 84" or more clearance inside.
M. Typical Alloy Wheel and Radial Tire Upgrade
The SE Soft-top is no longer available but was provided to your dimensions; you are responsible to see that your car fits inside. The SE soft-top frame is 2" thick, sides, top, and front. So on an 82" deck for example, you lose 4" for 78" width clearance inside. The front slope is 2.5" rise for each foot of length. The hood clearance and top clearance depends on if you have specified a tall enough unit. Check your car profile and send us those dimensions so we can propose a shape for you to approve. Failure to fit is costly for you; new soft-top covers are not inexpensive.
The Hardtop is taller and wider so it will fit most all sports cars.
