Hard top issues?

So I've been looking at a bikini top from KTT for this summer... but as far as I know, the hard top has never been taken off this truck. Am I looking at big time sealing or leakage problems if I take the top off at this point in the game? Advice? Thanks all.

I've always considered it more desirable to buy a truck that has never had the hardtop taken off. Given that it's currently sealing well, I think you'll be fine. If I recall, the only possible leak areas are the slidey windows, and the roof/top intersection. That intersection has bent metal to keep water out, which does a good job.

I have never had a drop of water get through the hard top and find its way inside.

I think you'll be absolutely fine taking the top off, and having a decent seal when it goes back on. Go for it! I'm counting the days to put my KTT bikini on.

Yeah I can't wait. Getting a ratchet strap system together to lift the top and store it. Neoprene seat covers are on the list, too.
 
Fancy. Lifting that top solo would be impossible. I hate even doing it with only myself and one other. I usually wait til a third person is around to make it easy.

There pictures of your rig around here? We're all nice and community oriented 'round here. Assuming you feel like staying. Most ask a handful of questions and leave.

Here she is this morning. Managed to snap a couple pics after it snowed a bit last night.

Wouldn't mind sticking around here for a bit, there's a ton of good info on here and some really nice looking trucks. Had a few yotas in the past but never realized the kind of following they had.

Likewise! Never had a leak from the top.. but from the front windshield area, different story LOL.
Nice truck! :)
x2 on the heavy part, gotta have a friend or two to help !
 
Yeah I figure throw some beers at a couple of my buddies and it shouldn't be a problem. Just trying to figure out some of way of storing it. Probably the roof of the carport with some bars and ratchet straps.
