Q: Hey, I am currently looking at a 55 CJ-5. It has a Sears and Roebuck hardtop on it but I would like to add a soft top or bikini top to it for the summer. There are no roll bars to hook to. Do I need to make something for it to work?

Q: I have purchased what is said to be a 1956 CJ-3A, although I am not sure it’s not really a ’53. It has a roll bar. Will this top fit this vehicle. If so, how will it fit to the windshield?

• A: It will slide into the channel ok but you will be baggy over the sides. Some people like it, others hem it. On the CJ-5’s they fit perfectly.

Q: Your answers from previous questions tells me your bikini tops can fit a CJ-2A (no roll bar) if you make a support frame for the rear and that it would be a little baggy over the sides, but how will it fit to the top of the 2A windshield?

• A: You can probably modify it to work with your old cap stands if you put hoops in. Or you can make a channel for it.

Q: Is this top made of a solid fabric or is it a mesh that will let the sun and rain through?

• A: It is a solid fabric

Q: We have a 1946 CJ-2A with a CJ-3A windshield with the channel on the front of the windshield. Do you have any suggestions on what I could use for a bikini top? We do have a roll bar. Thanks

• A: You will just need a channel on the top of your frame which 3A’s usually do. This bikini will work just fine for you, it will just be a little baggy on the sides.
