I searched the TMs and tried the search function but found no mention of this particular question.
My soft top has two different mounting parts on the back bottom area behind the seats. The first obvious one is the segmented loops that have a rubber rope through them and hook on the outside back of the cab. Those are mentioned in the TMs as part of the soft top install.
But there is another full length loop inside of that. Mine doesn't have a rope through it. It looks like you would run a rope through it to stretch the whole back flap tight to the cab somehow. There doesn't appear to be a lip to tuck it around or any way to pull it tight though. This extra flap isn't mentioned anywhere and looking at pictures hasn't helped with it's use.
Mine looks like it has never been used for anything and it offers no help as is for sealing the back of the cab.
Right now I can reach through and touch the spare tire/ davit/ or whatever else is in reach. The segmented loops are attached but only serve to hold the top down, not really sealing it.
How it the interior loop supposed to be attached, or is it?
Right now I am thinking about loosening the angle iron bolted to the cab behind the seats and pinching it under there to close the back of the cab off. Has anyone done this or have a better way to seal the back? Obviously it will add a step in removing the soft top but that isn't a concern. I am just trying to keep some wind and noise out.
I will get some pics up shortly.
Thanks in advance.
