1967 Jeep Commando - Covering That Old Jeep With a New Soft Top

This is where the vertical rod mounts just behind the door.

I carefully slid the top through the front windshield channel, unfolded the top, and pulled it back over the front and rear bows. I deviated from the instructions a bit and installed the footman loops on the rear of the Jeep. These go in the rear corners of the body and not the tailgate. Then I snapped the top to the inside of the rear bow. Once this was done, I ran the inner top straps through the footman loops and cinched them to the tightness I thought the top should be. After that, I rubbed chalk on the top's side snaps (inside) and pulled the sides taut, pushing the snap against the side of the body. This leaves a mark and indicates where to drill the hole to mount the snap.

Here is the view from the inside of the installed Tigertop.

The side windows of the top easily roll up and can be held in place with straps already installed on the top for that safari-like feel and cool breezes.
