Once you've worn in the soft top, it really is easy to put up/down on your own.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. After a couple of goes up and down, it is getting easier (especially in the warm weather!!) Still, if anyone get's any good intel on the Bestop TrekTop I'd still be interested.

The main pain in the a55 with the soft top is taking the windows in and out!!

Side windows take seconds, usually what i do is, start the zip, take it along the top maybe 6", tuck the front into the pillar, tuck the bottom in along the tub, and finish off the zip, Done. If you take the zip to far along it makes it difficult to tuck in the rest.

Same as Tiny, just roll up the rear window and use the velcro loops suplied, prevents damage and gets it out of the way.

It does get easier when warn in a bit and temperature makes a big difference.
The first time I put it on it was a cool night, I pulled each back corner down and almost had both feet off the gorund while he pushed it under, bloody hard to get it on. But now especially during a warm day it isn't too bad.

I didn't realize those velcro straps were for rolling the rear window up, I have been using them to hold the soft top from blowing out like a parachute when the sunrider section is open.
