   I’d like to see a video of someone putting up a factory Willys soft top if any of you YouTubers are looking for ideas.  I’ve been looking for a video on that for a while now and haven’t found one yet.  I’d like to see stuff like where all the thin rods go, storage of all of the components, door installation etc… I’ve never had a soft top on a flatfender before and have been interested in getting one.
If anyone knows of any good ones, please let me know.

	Maybe they weren’t made by Willys, but the ones you could buy from them as an option. I’d just like to see how the soft top parts go together and also where they all store on the jeep.

	That really would be a worthy video for an up and coming Speilberg-type here ( several good producers here, you know who you are) The Bestop/Kayline models are more familiar to most so a good tutorial on the 'little more involved' original type hardware and canvas would be a welcome addition here I'd say. Good idea Scratch.

	I'd definitely love to have one of the original style 10 piece covers for my Jeep... Though the price of a full top seems to be about the value of the Jeep itself... Anyone know where you get one of those... "Great Value" branded covers? (Not India)
