So I picked up a 2 piece hard top a while back.

The seal on the front section requires that the strip that holds the front of the soft top in place be removed. If I want to run both, that means taking the strip off whenever the hard top is run. This would leave it's mounting holes semi exposed. Anything used to plug the holes would probably lead to the hard top not sealing well. The seal is all ready suspect as the donor had it siliconed down.

Thoughts?
 
Run the hardtop in the back and the soft top in the front. You will be happier in the long run. Wish I hadn't sold my front soft top.

Thats actually not a horrible idea. My half top seals pretty good.

Otherwise, I'd say just use some clear silicone. Should come off super easy. Or something like Vaseline. Keeps the water away from the threads, but also will just wipe off.





Also, wtf, more details on the build?
