    The tiger top uses snaps, no I doubt very seriously if the snaps would line up with your existing ones.
    The rails on the supertop are just like the ones found factory on a wrangler.

    My new Kayline.......

    I just got my new white Kayline top for my 66 CJ-5 and I have to say I'm really disapointed. I had a Kayline Rail type for the past 12 years, and when I called they no longer make it. I ordered the standard, and everything is different.
    I really need to think about returning it and ordering a super top for Best top. Don't know if my Kayline rails with fit or not, but I sure did like this rail type top until I just wore it out.

    I like that smell, it reminds me of the old army tent we used for hunting when I was a kid........

    I like that smell for the same reason, it reminds me of all the camping trips I had as a kid with the family and in Scouts.

    Tell ya what then...I've give you the opportunity to re-live a small part of those childhood memories....

    For the mere cost of $100 + shipping...you can be the owner of some fresh canvas...all you need to do to be a kid again is pop open the box and breath that odor in...in a nanosecond you'll be transported back to the golden years of your life...

    Act quick...chances like this don't come along often...operators are standing by.

    I just put on a Supertop a few weeks ago. I really like it! It looks great! I like it much better than the old one I had with snaps. I also had to shim the windshield.

    Just got one of the tops like Herm sells. My advantage is the company is just up the road (heck - both of the major top companies are in the Denver Metro area). For the flatties I really like the ones Herm sells.
